Despite the "power of prayer", new tests show that the fourth metatarsal on Shaun Alexander's left foot still has a crack in it. What does that mean? Unless someone gives it the Mr. Miyagi treatment, Shaun Alexander will not play in Sunday night's game against Chicago.
While teams never want to go into an important early-season game against a conference opponent without your full assortment of offensive weapons, sitting Alexander is the right thing to do. Alexander also felt great before the games against Arizona and New York, but was clearly hampered by this injury.
Sitting him this week, along with next week's bye, gives Alexander at least 3 weeks to rest and rehabilitate the injury before the October 15th game in St. Louis.
