NFL | Update on Newman's Shoulder Concerns - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com)
8:01 PT: Updating previous reports, Jay Glazer reports for SportsLine.com that several teams have revealed that nerve damage in Kansas State CB Terence Newman's (shoulder) left shoulder hasn't improved significantly in recent months and the injury is affecting his position on some boards. In fact, one top-ten team has taken him off their board because of it. One AFC executive said that they saw the never in the shoulder was dead and the deltoid muscle has atrophied. However, not all teams are as concerned. "He does have nerve damage in that shoulder and there are concerns about the strength in the shoulder," said Texans general manager Charley Casserly. "We have not taken him off of our board. Other people have played with the injury and if he was available at No. 3 we could take him. We are not as concerned as other teams may be."

I was going to ask about this, but wanted to research it first on my own. I couldn't find much except the KFFL hotwire entry. Now if Newman's nerves in his shoulder are dead and the deltoid muscle has atrophied, wouldn't it kind off make it very difficult for him to play?

Caution - 'tis the season for lies, deceit and vicious rumors. Probably some team who hopes Newman will drop to them is getting the word out big time. I love it!

Well there you have it.......from the Texans....."if he were available at #3 we would take him"...........yeah riiiiight! So Palmer is #1; Rogers is#2 and Newman is now.....what, guaranteed to go to the Texans at #3. All of a sudden, Suggs is looking doable for us at#6
