possibly Andre? where did you read that? we've lost Clem Johnson pretty much for the year and that will hurt us at safety

^somebody else mentioned that to me today but I can't find any official source saying Andre is hurt at all. Where's this coming from?

I don't think he's played since the first scrimmage. Someone mentioned that his foot or something is "tender".

I mean fine, so he can probably play, but running backs with nagging injuries are never as effective as healthy backs...especially knee/ankle injuries.

well assuming Andre is not 100%....we still can feed J. Eugene 85% of the time like last year...

Jamelle earned the #1 spot last year by proving he can stay healthy and last through an entire game. Andre has yet to do either of those things....

Underwood had some moments too. RB should be the least concerning thing with this team. It's the S, LB, OL, WR, QB positions we've got to worry about

I'm not worried about WR for us. We are pretty deep there.

"GoPack.com: Senior Andre Brown is coming back from the broken foot that kept him out of action most of the second half of the season. Then he reinjured it in spring practice. Is he ready to go now? Underwood: I really expect Andre to come out and produce for this team. He is a great guy and a talented running back. I think he is NFL-ready right now. He’s going to do what he always does, and give us great contributions."

I had a hairline spinal fracture when I was 16. Its really not that painful of an injury. But I could see why they dont want him playing. I actually had to wear a back brace for about 3 months too, it was under my shirt, but it still sucked.
