Injury report 7/27

Fakhir Brown came down with the first significant injury of this year's training camp, a slight tear in his left rotator cuff that will keep him down for two to three weeks. The biggest beneficiary here will be Ron Bartell, who's very quietly in the walk year of his contract and will benefit by getting all the field time he can.

That appears to be the only significant injury. Probably the next most worrisome is Victor Adeyanju's tight hamstring. Throw in the Claude Wroten debacle, and that defensive line is getting pretty thin, and it simply isn't good enough to be that thin. They need eight healthy guys on that unit, though Scott Linehan inadvisably plans to go with 7.

The other injury of interest is that Keenan Burton is playing with tendinitis. My biggest objection to trading up to draft Burton was the smorgasbord of injuries he had his senior year.

Doesn't look like that's letting up any.
