yep - home opener
gallery is out 4-6 weeks ..... unlike the SF game (which he also missed) they are keeping their rookie Carpenter at RT, he has had trouble with speed rushes - especially from LBs so far .... at LG they are starting quite possibly one of the fugliest dudes you'll ever encounter
Rice may or may not play .... I almost wouldn't count on it ..... the issue isn't the hip which he had surgery on last year .... it's a shoulder injury that is rumored to be a torn labrum .... they are measuring the progress to see if it will heal enough for him to play or if they want to break out the blades and end the season
