What's with the two safeties?

I know Herring has a foot injury and the other guy has a concussion, but what is Kim's injury specifically and when will the other guy be ready to play?

Thanks!!!

I don't know. I don't really think we've been given any information outside of what you already know. Concussions can be tricky things. The last thing you want to do, though, is rush him back into a game, because the likelihood of having another one is greatly increased from what I understand. That's why Aikman had them over and over again towards the end of his playing days...

Wait till practices start back up to get an idea of who will be able to play. Some of these guys are just trying to heal up some bumps and bruises from a vicious Sunday Night game..

Rogers Beckett is the other safety with the concussion problem. I think it's a lot like a hamstring in that you have to get a few clean practices in before they clear you back to play. The immediate symptoms go away quickly, but it's real easy to have it happen again and is much more likely if not completely healed. Jeff Burris had the same problem last year and it affected several games. I do hope Beckett can go soon, however, because his run support is good -- although the secondary looked sharp against Miami. Maybe against Balt it would be better to keep KK and Williams back there for their ball skills (don't make a stupid joke about that please).
