The First Major Injuries of the 2009 NFL Fantasy Season

With the NFL season's opening week nearly complete we already have two potential season changing injuries on our hands. (If not for the actual teams, certainly for Fantasy).

1) In an interview with the Chicago Tribune this morning Brian Urlacher indicated that his season may very well be over due to a dislocated wrist. This is certainly a blow to all those Fantasy owners who drafted high on the Bear's D. Without Urlacher in the middle expect teams to try and jam the ball down the Bear's throat.

2) Donovan McNabb has been ruled out of next Sundays hotly anticipated shootout with the New Orleans Saints. While you can probably expect McNabb back sooner than later - rib injuries can be very tricky, especially for a QB known for his solid mobility. If you were starting McNabb on your fantasy squad you probably want to look elsewhere, at least for the next three weeks or so.
