Tough Break For Vereen

All of the "experts" were predicting that Steven Ridley would be benched after two fumbles in yesterday's win over the Buffalo Bills. All signs were pointing towards that, especially after Shane Vereen's huge game.

Apparently, Vereen broke a bone in his wrist on the first play of the game. He had surgery today and will miss at least four weeks. He was a huge presence in the offense with 14 carries for 101 yards and 7 receptions for 58 yards.

Will Ridley make it back on the field or stay in the dog house? He had four fumbles last year and a huge one in the playoffs. He may have caught a break with Vereen's injury. It also gives recently re-signed Leon Washington some potential playing time.
