Did R.Brockel break his shoulder blade?

[Jmac]

Rumor has it that it is a serious shoulder injury, but I can find nothing about it anywhere. If this is true, I would guess he may be waived injured like Alexander. Hate this for any player, but that's the NFL.  A spot would open up and Ward may get his chance to prove that he can cut it. Any news on this injury?

Where did the rumor originate? I haven't heard anything about an injury to that extent, but I don't have the same connections as Jeremy, Voth, the Observer guys, or even David Newton.

I would imagine if a spot opens up b/c of a Brockel injury it.....it means the team needs to find a special teamer more than anything.

That's why I am asking. Don't know if it's just Internet bullshit or is a fact.

David Newton has connections???

[Castavar]

I didn't even hear about it. But that would be a blessing in disguise. I never wish injury on anybody and hopes he recovers if true, but this would be huge chance for Ward to make the team. But yeah, I havn't heard this anywhere.

Only at Golden Corral.

That's probably why we signed Walker, Texas Ranger

Plenty of those on the roster at the moment with Teddy Williams, Trusnik, Wegher, Boykin, Glanton, Klein, Colin Jones, etc.  I think it probably opens a spot for one of these types of guys.

Brokel is regarded as a good special teamer though...a good one on a weak special teams unit. 

I do wish we could get Colin back to playing full time at special teams this year.

LOL! That explains his BS coverage of the team. Specifically on Cam.

Is there any reason why Ward can't/doesn't play special teams?

Brockel is pretty uninspiring no matter where he lines up or plays.
