We've discussed what some see as the propensity of white players to get injured disproportionately, and I agree that it does seem that way among white receivers. But overall the picture doesn't show it, at least this year. I took the following list, which names injured players, from a fantasy site. The number of injured quarterbacks is disproportionately black (6 of 13 mentioned) and there is no shortage ofinjured blacksat the other positions either.
Quarterbacks:
<UL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" =disc>
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Seahawk QB Matt Hasselbeck (knee) sustained a sprained knee in the third quarter of Sunday's game and did not return. Results of an MRI test will be released today, but early reports indicate he could miss 2-4 weeks with a Grade 2 sprain.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Steeler QB Ben Roethlisberger (head) left Sunday's game in the third quarter after a hit by Atlanta's Chauncey Davis. He returned to the sideline in street clothes for the second half. Coach Bill Cowher said Roethlisberger was "sore" but "understanding everything that was going on." He will be re-evaluated early this week and his status for Week Eight is uncertain.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Colt QB Peyton Manning was bent back and twisted awkwardly on a hit by Washington's Andre Carter and Phillip Daniels in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and took some other hard hits, but did not miss any snaps and finished with 342 yards and four TDs in the win. He did not address any injury problems after the game.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Brown QB Charlie Frye (concussion) sustained a concussion in Sunday's game and will be re-evaluated today.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Jaguar QB Byron Leftwich (ankle) was active for Sunday's game after an MRI on his ankle came back negative.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Chief QB Trent Green (concussion) missed Week Seven but is expected to return to practice this week. He said he hopes to play again by mid-November.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Dolphin QB Daunte Culpepper (knee) missed Week Seven. Coach Nick Saban said Culpepper had some swelling in his patella tendon from therapy and rehab and was limited in practice last week. There is no timetable for his return.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Raider QB Aaron Brooks (shoulder) missed Week Seven.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Buc QB Chris Simms (splenectomy) missed Week Seven. QB Luke McCown (knee) came off the PUP and began practicing last week.
<LI =Msonormal style="COLOR: black">Raven QB Steve McNair (head/neck) suffered a medium concussion and neck sprain in Week Six. All tests on his head and neck were negative, and coach Brian Billick said McNair should be able to make his next start in Week Eight.
