More on David Pollack: Fractured C-6 Vertebrae

The doctor released details about David Pollack's injury.

"The main thing is he does have a C-6 (vertebra) fracture," said Dr. Anthony Guanciale, director of orthopedic spine surgery at University of Cincinnati Hospital.

"His fracture was mild to moderate. His neurological status is normal. He has no spinal cord involvement or injury."

...

"The halo is the most stable brace because it allows no movement," Guanciale said. "How (the bone) heals and if it is stable are the big things. There will be a big evaluation in about nine months."

Also, Mark Curnutte confirmed the e-mail from David's wife was legit even though Marvin Lewis said point blank, "don't follow a rumor."

It was a bummer . . .
I hate to see a young player showing promise getting injured early in the season.  Bummer for Pollack.

However, after re-watching the Browns/Bengals game from Sunday, I'm pretty impressed at how our team just kept rolling even after a drawn out timeout for an injury.  A lesser team would be demoralized after watching one of their guys carted off the field, but our boys remained tough.  That 3rd Down stop after Pollack left the game shows how focused this defense is.

We have depth, and we will prevail.

RE: depth
It's really incredible. The only true position, I see, that would cause team-wide bummerism, would be QB -- and perhaps RB. This team will win the Super Bowl... just MHO. :)
