WEEK 1 INJURY REPORT


Week one saw a number of high profile players lose their season to injuries: Brady, Merriman, Burleson, and (perhaps) Gallagher.


One leg tackle in Foxboro turned the Bretts from curious also rans with a shot at the wild card into serious AFC East contenders. Given the lackluster showings by San Diego and Indy, the Bretts look to be one of a handful of teams with some hope of making deep playoff runs. Another of those teams will be starting Kerry Collins this week when the Titans visit the Bengals in what promises to be a game that would make Rice and Temple cringe.


Back to the injury report for a moment, it's clear that Brady, Merriman and Burleson are done for the season. As for Gallagher, here is the latest:


LONDON, Ontario (AP) — British band Oasis has postponed its concert in London, Ontario, after a fan attacked and injured guitarist Noel Gallagher.

A statement on the band's Web site says Gallagher had bruises on his ribs and hip and was unable to perform Tuesday.

Gallagher was injured Sunday after a man ran onto the stage during a performance at the Virgin Festival in Toronto. While playing the song "Morning Glory," Gallagher was pushed from behind and fell onto his monitor speakers.


While Oasis fans regularly pelt the band with debris and attempt to physically harm them while playing anything from Be Here Now on, the fact that this injury occurred during one of the high points from What's the Story Morning Glory has left the rest of the band a little confused and worried about their prospects for the rest of the season.
