Barwin done for the year - dislocated ankle

[dadmg]

From PFT:

We told you early Sunday that Texans defensive end Connor Barwin suffered a gruesome injury against the Colts.

Unfortunately, the injury proved as painful as it looked. Barwin is expected to miss the season with a dislocated ankle, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.

"That's a tough loss," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's a fine young player doing some great things for us. They're trying to get the pain under control right now. Obviously, we'll have to fix (surgery) it, but I don't know when."
We know Aaron Schobel says he doesn't want to play, but perhaps this will help Houston offer him a little more money to return to football. Barwin's replacement on Sunday was second-year undrafted Jesse Nading.

Paging Mr. Schobel....

Sounds like we need to hope Barwin has a good recovery and is ready to go next year. Tough break as he was starting to contribute more and more.

I thought Nading and Jamison did fairly well when they got a chance to play.

Wondering how they will fill this spot.

I'm glad it was the ankle and not the knee. As a speed rusher, a knee injury could have changed him from an outstanding rusher to an ordinary rusher. An ankle injury might still slow him down until fully healed but it won't D-Rob him.

I thought Nading did a great job as well when his number got called. He was involved in a half sack with Mario and I could see him hustling when he was in there.

So long Tim Jamison.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...m+--+Sports%29
