I'm hoping they give us more information soon on the injuries to Winston and Adibi. Winston's sprained ankle doesn't sound like it should be more than 2-3 weeks max, but depending on the severity of Adibi's broken finger, that could keep him out for the first week or two of the season....

Edit: Just read that Eric Winston posted on his twitter page that his ankle is fine and that he's "surprised it was even mentioned", so thats definitely good news.

Defensive players should not miss a game for a broken finger. Honestly most don't miss a game for a broken hand and I know more than a few have played through broken arms in recent years. Adibi may miss a preseason game just to be careful, but I wouldn't if I was him and I was trying to win a job.
