San Francisco 49ers LT Joe Staley suffered a broken left fibula during Sunday’s win over St. Louis and will miss 4-6 weeks, according to Matt Maiocco of Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. Reggie Bush suffered a similar injury and missed eight weeks, so it’s possible Staley’s season could be over, especially if the team falls further [...]

The Cincinnati Bengals have placed starting RT Andre Smith on injured reserve with a broken foot, ending his season. Smith broke the foot during practice this week, ending a bounce-back sophmore campaign. He showed enough promise in recent weeks to be counted on for a major role in 2011. The Bengals run-blocking takes a slight [...]

Seattle Seahawks LT Russell Okung (ankle) is likely to miss Sunday’s game against Arizona, according to Coach Pete Carroll. Okung was thought to be close to returning this week, so his absence is slightly disappointing. The Seahawks offense will continue to struggle with Okung out of the lineup.

The Green Bay Packers have placed RT Mark Tauscher (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. The extent of Tauscher’s shoulder injury still hasn’t been disclosed, as it was even speculated he was a healthy scratch recently. Obviously he has some major damage which will likely require surgery and/or a long rehab process. Tauscher could [...]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed LT Max Starks (neck) on injured reserve, ending his season. Starks will undergo surgery to repair a damaged cervical vertebrae, but the injury is not considered to be career-threatening. He should be good to go for training camp next season. Ben Roethlisberger will have to deal with backups at both [...]

The Carolina Panthers have placed starting RT Jeff Otah (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Otah has missed the entire regular season after undergoing knee surgery this summer. He suffered a setback before the regular season and the team has decided to shut him down for the season. The Panthers run-blocking hasn’t been as [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers LT Max Starks could be lost for the season with a cervical vertebrae injury, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Starks suffered the injury during Monday’s win over Cincinnati. Starks could be joining RT Willie Colon (Achilles) on injured reserve, leaving Ben Roethlisberger without both his starting tackles. The Steelers will have a tough [...]

New York Giants LT David Diehl suffered a torn hamstring during Sunday’s win over Seattle and will be out indefinitely. Diehl will probably miss most, if not all of the regular season with the injury. Enigmatic T Shawn Andrews will likely take over at left tackle for the foreseeable future. Andrews is talented, but what [...]

Seattle Seahawks LT Russell Okung suffered another high ankle sprain in his left ankle during Sunday’s win over Arizona. Okung missed several weeks at the beginning of the season with a high left ankle sprain. Okung has not been ruled out for this week, although he’s almost certain to miss multiple weeks. Seattle’s offense will [...]

Jacksonville Jaguars RT Eben Britton will likely miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn labrum in his shoulder during Sunday’s loss to Kansas City. Britton was having a fine season for the Jaguars, so consider his loss a blow to David Garrard and Maurice Jones-Drew’s value the rest of the way. Jordan [...]
