Dec 08, 1997: -- Jordan Injures Groin --
During today's press conference in Miami, JJ announced the
wide receiver Charles Jordan had pulled a groin muscle against the
Lions yesterday and will probably miss the next game against
Indianapolis. In his absence, Qadry Ismail and Brian Manning will be
evaluated to take his place.
Even with his injury, Jordan lead the receivers with 5 catches
for 51 yards against the Lions. This followed his breakout effort
against the Raiders last week of over 100 yards and 2 touchdown.
For the time being, Jordan will be day-to-day, but may be back
against the Patriots on Monday night.
My Comments:
Well, it figures that the Dolphins would have another injury
at this point in the year, especially just as Jordan was emerging as a
legitimate deep threat.
It's not a devastating injury, but it sure would be nice to
have Jordan in the lineup.
Still, perhaps Ismail or Manning will finally set up and make
their presence felt in the lineup.
