The Redskins tight end suffered a fractured tibia while running a passing route in Monday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. You know a team’s season is going badly when a Pro Bowl player injures himself while running, without an opponent in sight. But luckily for the Skins, after Wednesday’s ankle surgery what appeared at first to be a season-ending injury will in fact only keep Cooley out about four weeks.
And even better for all you Chris Cooley’s Shorts fans out there, Cooley’s shorts, and this blog, will not be sidelined for even one game. Go ahead, breathe a sigh of relief. Also, check out these screenshots from Chris Cooley’s blog.
Yes, this is Cooley’s post-surgery X-ray, showing off the three screws inserted into the fracture in his lower tibia. And here is Cooley himself, showing off his boot and the, ahem, vibrant new hair color he debuted on Monday.
