Arrington miss 2 to 4 weeks, has knee surgery

[RedskinsVision]

http://mb9.theinsiders.com/fcpndhardcorefrm1.showMessage?topicID=37522.topic

per CPND.. not confirmed but they're reporting he's out of this game and maybe a few weeks more.. WTEM is only reporting Lavar missing practice today and still listed him as Questionable.

http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3033184

just because there was no penalty called on the play the NFL is going to fine him??? i don't get it.. so any facemask incident not called should be a fine?

Redskins linebacker Lavar Arrington often plays with a fire unmatched by others.

That fire, however, also gets him a bit overzealous at times. One play on Sunday was one of those times and Arrington as a result will be a little lighter in the wallet.

FOXSports.com has learned that Arrington was hit with a $5,000 fine by the league office this week for nearly decapitating Giants RB Tiki Barber in Sunday's game. On the play, Arrington grabbed Barber's facemask and turned Barber around. Arrington was not penalized on the play because one of the officials thought that the Redskins linebacker grabbed Barber by the shoulder pads. However, after further review the league determined that Arrington grabbed Barber's facemask first and should have been penalized on the play.

Barber got away from the attempted tackle but didn't come away unscathed. While Barber's neck was fine he tweaked a hip flexor on the play and played with the tightness for the rest of the game.

[LATrueRedskin]

That sounds pretty ridiculous to me being fined for a facemask. I seriously doubt it was on purpose. I'm more concerned with him missing a game. I hope that's not the case.

[TexSkin]

Sounds real stupid to me. That injury had nothing to do with the facemasking. Give me a break.

[#1SkInSfAn]

If he misses the Dallass Game we are in trouble not because he is the key to our defense but because he is such a good emotional team leader. Sure he will be pumping them up from the sidelines but wouldn't we rather have his presence on the feild!

[RedskinsVision]

That sounds pretty ridiculous to me being fined for a facemask. I seriously doubt it was on purpose. I'm more concerned with him missing a game. I hope that's not the case.

and what about when one of their DL wasn't called for grabbing Ramsey's facemask? same result but on a QB who's always protected more.

[LATrueRedskin]

and what about when one of their DL wasn't called for grabbing Ramsey's facemask? same result but on a QB who's always protected more.

Exactly. These type of things get overlooked all the time. Just because Tiki probably complained about it, and since it's LA, all the sudden there's a problem. It's football, this happens.

[#1SkInSfAn]

sorry to double post but Lavar will pay that fine and ay it happily if it means he kept Tiki from 5 extra yards on that play then he'll be more than happy to pay 1000 bucks a yard. He's a real redskin and he wants his team to win and he wants other teams to fear us. If he gets fined he'll pay it happily and if an accidental face mask is all he has the next running back by, then Lavar will pay that fine too!!

[BurgundyNGold]

That is soooooo ridiculous. He had one pinky on the facemask for like a half a second. It wasn't even called, but if it was, it certaily would've been one of the incidental, 5 yard variety. Insanity.

[smoak]

i would be furious if that happened? there is no way he'll miss a game for that!?

[BurgundyNGold]

Just to add another thought: What message does this send? "Well, if I I'm going get fined anyway, I might as well flip the guys' head up like a Pez dispenser next time".

[Homer Simpson voice] Stupid league officials.

Good Ol' Homer Simpson

[RedskinsVision]

WTEM is now reporting Lavar saw a Doctor and might have his knee scoped and could miss the next 4 weeks!

we need Barrow to come back so we can move Pierce over. i'm not confident w/ Marshall taking his spot.

[Spence]

I think the league has an informal policy of fining Lavar from time to time no matter what. Just to make sure he knows he's being watched.

[jonesy]

No way we can not lose LA for this game!

[superskin]

Is this another Portis-like hoax? I knew that Arrington was a little dinged up, but I havent seen crap about this, or the fine, or the possible suspension on any legitimate website.

[BurgundyNGold]

I hope you're right SS. Last time I cam here to find out that the Portis hoax was just that. Where is RedskinsVision when you need him? He's the king or research skills.

[superskin]

Its odd...the only "website" this appears on is FOXSPORTS.COM, and when you try to access the story, it doesnt let you. I have been to EVERY website with authority on the NFL, and none of the others mention it. I dont know - the writing looks suspect, the face mask was hardly severe enough to warrant a suspension. And Lavar getting his knee scoped? That was never mentioned before. Someone post as soon as you can confirm or deny. These rumors truly act as kryptonite to me.

[RedskinsVision]

WTEM is reporting on both the Fine and Arrington meeting w/ Dr. Andrews in Alabama to look at his knee and might have to get it scoped which will keep him out of action for 2-4 weeks.

the Fine does not involve any suspension.

and his knee have been bothering him all training camp.. remember when ppl were reporting a possible strained ACL and a slightly torn MCL? i think this knee situation is getting serious and he will need surgery.

Ugh. I cant believe he was fined for that ticky-tack face mask. We really cant afford to lose Lavar to this knee problem, but I'd rather him be out 2-4 weeks NOW, and return stronger, than play with it and be out when its playoff time.

http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=3618

From Redskins.Com

Linebacker LaVar Arrington traveled to Birmingham, Ala., Thursday to have his sprained knee examined by Dr. James Andrews, the team's senior medical consultant.
Said head coach Joe Gibbs: "They're going to go and make a decision on whether to go ahead and [have surgery]."

If Arrington does have surgery, he could miss 2-4 weeks, Gibbs said.

Should Arrington miss playing time, Gibbs said Lemar Marshall would be one possibility to replace him in the lineup. Marshall is a third-year player out of Michigan State who has played mostly on the Redskins' special teams the last two years.

From Redskins.Com

It's time for Barrow to step up and start earning his paycheck. I'd love to see Peirce line up outside, with Barrow in the middle. This is the best solution to fill Lavar's hole. Ummm, let me rephrase that - to fill the hole left by Lavar's absence. LOL.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

first of all......:cry: regarding the arrington injury. that is huge if he misses 4 weeks. 2 i can except.....

2nd of all, that fine is a bunch of BS. why would you fine him just because the ref blew the call? he barely even grabbed his facemask. i remember the play and he only had one finger in his facemask.

[Skins57]

I agree the fine is BS but as Redskins fans we should be used to BS. How many times was Mark Carrier fined, and when Taylor starts playing more he will be fined also as he likes to hit. The league needs to relax a little this game is meant to be rough and fining a guy for not much of anything is getting old.

Arrington being injured worries me, but for some reason I see him playing this wek and maybe then going for surgery. I can not see him missing this game for anything. We all know he hates Dallas, remember the blow up in the locker room a few years back after another loss. I would bet he plays Mon and makes an impact

[JoeDaSchmoe]

Goddamnit. We can't afford to lose LaVar to this damn knee thing, especially with Barrow seemingly never coming back. Pierce has been great, but we don't want another backup on the field... not with Dallas coming in four days.

[IVSkinsFan]

I think LA will play this week and opt for surgery next week. Barrow needs to suck it up and hit the field (at least until Lavar returns). As for the fine, its BS and the redskins should appeal it.

[tommahawk]

I just heard on channel 4 LaVar had surgury today. He's out at least 2 weeks, including this week.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

wow, that was quick. heres to quick healing......:beer:

[redwolf1218]

Lavar has struggled with this slight knee sprain before, off and on. I'd hate for him to push until it gets completely blown out, like a torn ligament. It might be time to go either rest it so it heals, or operate on it and fix it. Lamar Marshall or Khary Campbell should be able to fill in, much like Antonio Pierce has done. Barrow might be back soon, and Marcus Washington is a great pass rusher and all-around linebacker. Ron Warner might surprise some people too. everyone has been saying he's "undersized", but at 6'-3 and 270 he's bigger than Kearse or Ogunleye and he should be serviceable in there against both the run and the pass. My point is, a total team effort will be needed to fill Lavar's shoes.

[Maxemus]

it says on the ESPN bottom line that he's expected to miss the cowboy game.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

would the best thing to do be to move pierce back outside and bump campbell up to starting MLB or just have marshall fill in for LA?

either way, im really upset right now......

[leave_scars]

I think the NFL is trying to make an example of him with that fine.

[redwolf1218]

that's the most ridiculous fine i have ever heard of. he had what? 1 or 2 fingers, the tips of his fingers, on the face mask, and he let go and grabbed the shoulder pad, which everyone saw with that close up camera angle on the replay.

[split3clemente]

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=fanball-redskinsarringtonlik&prov=fanball&type=lgns

Gibbs said it would be a "miracle" if LA played...this one really stings

[jonesy]

he is out...this will be tough to overcome!

[techskinsfan]

it just came across sportscenter, they said pastabelly was reporting it. could require arthroscopic surgery cuz of cartilage dcamage?????????? baddddd news if true

[truant]

Seems true... i guess the best thing is just to get him healed for later on.

This really sucks... Lavar is our most entertaining player on primetime. He must be pissed to miss this game.


Oh well, hopefully the D can step up this week without him and hold the rope.

[IVSkinsFan]

We have to hope for a speady recovery and that our depth is good enough to help us hold on until LA can return.

[BurgundyNGold]

That's true. The bye week is coming up too.

Damn! Doesn't he know that it is freakin' Dallas week???

its looking like marshall is gonna replace him. lets go lemar!

2-4 weeks. Means when Barrow comes back in a week or two, Pierce will slide over to the WLB. isnt everyone glad we got Washington?

[redwolf1218]

Lucky that the bi week will come in the middle of Lavar's recovery. Lemar Marshall made the team as Lavar's backup. time to step up!

[lakeskin]

Just heard on espnnews.

This sucks!!!

uh oh...dude, there's another thread already on exactly this same topic. i see you are new here, so welcome! but the moderators of this site have pleaded with all of us to pay attention!

my bad

[redwolf1218]

my bad
no prob brah you're new. they have been posting threads almost every day trying to keep the board from getting cluttered with multiple threads on the same topics, because good topics worthy of debate and discussion fall off the front page with all the new duplicates taking up space. it's cool, welcome, and looking forward to your insight. this thread will probably get merged with the other one about lavar.

Quick ocskinfan delete it before they see it!!

a freudian slip based on having to discuss the scum sucking cowgirls all week.

[Redskin006]

it really sucks that lavar's out. i hope that marshall will be able to step and become a playmaker like pierce has been in the last 2 games.

Here comes the first fine of the new season.

i dont wanna get lynched here, but Marcus Washington may be all that i have always hoped Lavar could be.

[RedskinsVision]

Marcus is so much better than all of us hoped for.. he and Pierce are leading the team in Tackles w/ 19 and 17 respectively.. but right now they can't exchange the leadership Lavar brings.. everyone on the team looks to Lavar as the team spokesman and leader. and Lavar is 4th w/ 13 Tackles and a Sack on bad knees.. he was going to make our LB trio a dominant force for once instead of just hype. i hope Marshall can step up.. he could be another Pierce type.. starting out good on ST then moving up. but it's going to be weird w/ out 56 out there.

[skin4life]

this is fake, Gibbs is playing jedi mind tricks again. By telling sources now, it gives dallas tooo much time to attack that loss. Gibbs would have waited until the deadline to tell which players are injured. I dont think todays the day. I hope.

dude i'm sorry but Lavar had surgery today, he's out 2 to 4 weeks.

[Chief Seeway]

ESPN just reported the surgery has already taken place. I suspect he will be ready in three weeks.

This is not a season ender for our defense, we have other playmakers.

maybe Lavar will be something of a martyr(?), like Jansen, Smoot (with the cracked sternum last year, throwing up at halftime from the pain) and Noble (with the incredible comeback). everyone should have a real gut check for this game. it'll be like the strike shortened season with the scabs against the starters...underdogs with all heart!

[WackyJacky]

it says on the ESPN bottom line that he's expected to miss the cowboy game.
Fuuuu...dge! I'm quite bummed out by this news.

Hey, how about fining the refs for missing the call??? It's not Lavar's fault they picked up the flag on the play. Total BS.

i hear ya.. and after Riggo ripping Gibbs up for the world to further cement their doubt.. this is time for a game played w/ pure heart and determination.. forget the talent.. this is going to take the dirt and gritty. i like what ur saying.. we're the underdogs now and the whole world is against us.. ppl might hate Dallas more but the bandwagoners are jumping on their side since they made the playoffs last year. i hope it rains and the good old days of RFK will be revisited.

it's time for the offense to step up. daniels is out, lavar is out, barrow has been out, noble is not 100 %... time to prove riggo wrong, and the offense and the backups on defense have to play with heart and fire to fill some big shoes. with our backs against the wall, this is where Gibbs shines.

You're right, our offense is going to have to have a huge game. The team isn't going to lay down and let Dallas win this game, and neither will the fans. I just pray that our offense clicks. If it doesn't I think we'll be in trouble.

[whistleandthumb]

Who cares about the stupid fine? Fine him a million bucks for all I care. Just get my LaVar back soon!!!



Ok, I sound sorta funny when I say "my LaVar." Makes me sound like a Cowgirl fan or something.

Has knee surgery, miss 2 to 4 weeks

[Ramsey2Moss]

what a great way to end a terrible day.

[colkurtz]

What is the real status of Barrows?? We need him in ASAP.

Greg Williams is amazing at how he has maximized the talent - even with key players out.

Frankly, I'm more worried about our offense and especially our QB's. The Tuna came at Ramsey last year with everything and really shook him up. We need a good game from the QB and Portis needs to run well - the Cowgirls run defense is pretty weak...................

[IndianBaller27]

2-4 weeks really means 5-6.

[PennSkinsFan]

2-4 weeks really means 5-6.

Nah, these type of surgeries guys can return pretty quick from.

This is not good with a capitol N we need LaVar. I just hope Pierce and Washington can step up and fill the void.

Here is a stupid idea start Taylor at weakside LB.

i didnt believe it when i first read it cause it started off as 'len pasquarelli reports....'

[bexskins1]

losing lavar really sucks :cry: ...but its the offense that im worried about...they gotta play big monday night

[Skinz4lyfe]

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NCskinsfanatic]

Well they may have to play Taylor now for the whole big play factor. And is Barrow hurt more than they're telling us or what? I mean he didnt play in the preseason and has missed the first 2 regular season games, does he need surgery or is suppose to just get better at somepoint? Moving Pierce outside and bringing Barrow in would best compensate for the loss of LA.The offense has to step up because if we have to go with no Daniels, Barrow or Arrington on defense, then we could be vunerable to the cowboys attack. Even though they havent run the ball well Vinny has passed for quite a few yards and missing a starting DE and OLB will surely show.

[lakeskin]

Redskins shold be fine against Dallas. They have no semblance of a running game so we could just go with a three safety lineup with bowen, taylor, and lott.

It would have been nice to see Lavar end another Dallas quarterback's career.

I miss him already.

[SonnyandSam]

Losing LaVar is not good. Hoping Marshal can fill LaVar's shoes is too much to ask. I can only hope Joe can convince Barrow to play hurt this weekend. I also wonder if Williams might play Taylor more as a nickel back and use him as a linebacker.

These losses on defense are mounting. It is high time for the offense to get their collective heads out of their arses and play like the talent they all have. Time for Portis to show he is a great back. Time for LC and Gardner to make all the catches not just some of them. Time to use Cooley more. Time for Ramsey to grow up and stop making stupid mistakes. Time for the Dirt Bags to prove they can support a strong running game. Time for Joe to challenge a call once in a while. Time for the fans to see what Danny's money bought.....Damn it.....IT'S TIME WE BEAT THOSE DAMN cowgirls!!!!

[sdredskinsfan]

Gibbs sure is dealing with a rough start with respect to all these injuries.

[GolfFreak]

Wow, we need him back quick ... I hope he returns soon.

[smoak]

OH NO!!! is it official? is lavar out??

i'm heading to washingtonpost.com... what a cruddy friday news...

[frenchskinsfan]

It's sad he's not there on monday. Hope Williams will do a good job to challenge this hurting loss on Def, Marshall will have big shoes to put on.

[Skins4life]

As some people stated, it's time Barrow gets back. The loss of LA is huge, but not too bad if Pierce moves over and Barrow is in the middle. How good is Marshall?? Does anyone remember him from preseason?

[hail2skins]

The loss of Arrington is huge but it's time for someone to step up and make a name for themself. This is a great opportunity for someone.

[redwolf1218]

All i know is, Marshall was an undrafted safety from Michigan State and was asked to bulk up to become a linebacker. he is now listed at 6'-2, 230 (same size as Taylor). i bet he's fast. the only guy who sticks out in my mind that converted from safety to linebacker is Monte Coleman.

[VirginiaRedskin]

The loss of Arrington is huge but it's time for someone to step up and make a name for themself. This is a great opportunity for someone.

Absolutely! I have been quite critical of Sean Taylor, but this will be a great opportunity for him. The U of Miami played in plenty of big games, but if this kid can finally grasp the mental aspects of what he needs to do in the NFL this would be a huge lift for this team. We need the skills that we drafted for in the 5th overall to come to the surface. Vinny tends to throw poor passes if pressured and the boys running game can be shut down without too much trouble if they listen to Williams. I also expect a lot of play action and screens by Parcells. I believe Dallas will play conservative offense early on, but also test us by trying to take advantage of players flying around high on emotion inside a rocking stadium. There will be great chances for a safety to come up huge in this game, mark my words.

[RedskinRyan]

maybe khary campbell will get the start at MLB and move pierce out to arrington's spot

[PennSkinsFan]

I am pretty sure Marshall will get the nod, but Campbell will see time as well. I really don't mind Marshall getting a shot here. The Arrignton injury hurts, no doubt about it, but this is a chance for a young, untested LB to get some test, and prove what they can do, plus add some valuable experience. to the resume. Anyone that expect Marshall to perform at the same level of Lavar is just not being realistic. Lavar is a game changer, a dominating force. What i hope for? Just good, solid fundamentals, good solid play.

[BIGSEF3]

my dad called me today and told me he heard on the radio that arrington will be out ATLEAST 5 weeks. has anyone else heard that? everything i see says 2-4.

also, does anyone know whether arrington will be at the game with the rest of the team monday or is he being placed on "injured/reserve" so that the team can activate another player. i think it would be nice if arrington were there b/c he is a great leader and could boost the team.

not to dis arrington, but i dont think his being out of the game will affect the play of the defense too much. heck, if williams can come up with schemes where BOWEN gets two sacks in one game, he can come up with schemes to minimize the impact of arrington being out.

if Arrington was placed on the injured reserve, he would be out for the year. Don't you Eagles fans know anything?

[BIGSEF3]

oh, thanks for the clarification.

[LATrueRedskin]

Don't like the news about LA at all. It's very disappointing, knowing how much he was looking forward to this season. We needed him and his intensity at this Dallas game. But, looking towards the future, it's a good thing because it seems that this has bothered him for a while, and it's better to get it taken care of so it won't get worse.

i agree. he's young, and this can be fixed. he needs to heal, and we need someone to step up and take on that burden while he gets better. the only linebacker on our roster that is faster than Lavar is Lemar Marshall.

The flip to this, is since it happens earlier in the season, it does help the team down the road , should there be a playoff berth.

Most teams that recover in time with starters for the playoffs, make out well, because the depth chart has had playing time. Of course, some teams have better depth than others, so they are able to go deep in the playoffs.

We are getting some early looks at our depth, LB, LB, DE, OT, C, and the returns are very encouraging. Not that we are necessarily on the same level as NE, they had early injuries, recoverd by mid-season, and stormed the castle after that.

good point. later in the season we will get lavar, and barrow, and several others back at full strength to add to those who have stepped up and made a name for themselves.

my dad called me today and told me he heard on the radio that arrington will be out ATLEAST 5 weeks. has anyone else heard that? everything i see says 2-4.

also, does anyone know whether arrington will be at the game with the rest of the team monday or is he being placed on "injured/reserve" so that the team can activate another player. i think it would be nice if arrington were there b/c he is a great leader and could boost the team.

No way he gets put on injured reserve, that means you're done for the season. He'll only miss a couple weeks.
