Ellerbe out Sunday

The guy looked like a difference maker at LB this preseason, but I was always thinking about when we could expect an injury that would sidetrack him during the regular season. That is the problem! Everyone is just waiting for the injury that seems to always come. At this point unless he heals and plays 15 games he is a guy we just don't have the luxury of keeping around, particularly as he is not getting any younger. I don't think in any way he is a malingerer but it is clear his body type cannot take the hitting that is his trade as a defensive player and LB. At least this year we have Robertson and Stupar to fill in so there is some talent there in the reserve group.
