Many players in the NFL feel that the preseason should be shortened a game because of injuries, in otherwise meaningless games. However, coaches and owners say it is a nice way to evaluate younger players, and give them experience.

I wonder what Chicago's coach, Brenden Hoffman feels about the NFL preseason. Hoffman lost the Bears' quarterback of the future, Kyle Boller for the season with a torn rotator cuff on his throwing shoulder. "Kyle Boller is recovering from surgery to his throwing shoulder, we expect Kyle to make a full recovery and lead the Bears in the 2004 season." It is uncertain yet, whether Boller's injury is a career threatening injury.

Arizona lost RG Chris Dishman for 9 weeks with a broken fibula.
Cincinnati's first round draft choice, and number 1 overall, Carson Palmer will be out 4-6 weeks with a broken Tibia.
Cleveland lost FL Andre Davis for 6 weeks with a stress fracture to his leg.
Dallas lost newly acquired FB Richie Anderson for the season with a knee injury that required reconstructive surgery.
Denver lost reserve guard Steve Herndon for 13 weeks with a hamstring injury.
Houston lost starting TE Billy Miller for the season with MCL Knee Surgery.
Jacksonville lost rookie FS Rashean Mathis for 10-12 weeks with a severe ankle sprain.
Minnesota lost starting QB Duante Culpepper for 2 months with a dislocated elbow.
The New York Giants lost QB Kerry Collins for 2 months with the same injury as Culpepper. The Giants also lost guard Rich Seubert for the season with a ruptured elbow tendon.
Pittsburgh lost Receiver Plaxico Burress for the season when he had to have reconstructive knee surgery.

Teams must trim there rosters to 53 players for opening day next week.
