This was not an off the field incident with a lemon and a wiener dog either...

Seahawks' Alexander out indefinitely with foot fractureBy John Clayton
ESPN.com


The Seahawks lost reigning MVP Shaun Alexander indefinitely after X-rays revealed a small crack in his left foot.

Alexander missed two days of practice last week because of the foot injury believed to have been sustained during a tackle in the Arizona Cardinals game in Week 2. Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, who announced the injury Monday, wasn't sure which part of Sunday's game against the Giants that Alexander suffered further injury to the foot.

Holmgren isn't sure how long Alexander will be out but it's possible he could miss a month. Holmgren said Alexander's injury is a non-displaced fracture of the foot.

Maurice Morris will be the starter in Alexander's absence. The Seahawks have a bye week following Sunday's game against the Bears in a matchup of 3-0 teams.

Alexander rushed for 47 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's 42-30 victory over the New York Giants.

He looked a little off. I think most guys would take 47 yards and a TD even without a broken foot, though.

No sucks for him and his family since he is going to have to go through rehab and work so hard to come back.

Sucks a little less for a Seattle team that was looking great so far.

Its fvcking BS.
One of my fantasy team is over and its only the 3rd week.

He is only going to miss like 3-4 games (bye week included). Keep him on your bench and just be patient.

I rather him miss the early games than the later games when most of us will be in the fantasy playoffs.. Who knows, in the second half, he can put up LJ-like #s (from last year)

Also, Warner is out and Leinart will start his first NFL game this Sunday. Nothing to do with the madden curse, but big FF news.

Currently have Brandon Jacobs and Kevin Jones as my RB, worth dropping one of those for Morris?
