I love it when rivals get injured.
Just the way I was raised.

Report: Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatrick suffers pre-camp knee injury
7/25/2012
Bengals rookie cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick is telling associates that he suffered a leg injury while gearing up for camp, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reports. According to one league source, there could be an issue with a small broken bone in that area, and could cause the rookie to miss most or all of camp.
The Bengals declined comment, and cited coach Marvin Lewis' policy of not addressing anything potentially injury-related this time of year until after the team has gathered for camp and players have taken their physicals.

Lofa Tatupu out for the season
7/24/2012
Falcons linebacker Lofa Tatupu, who’s trying to make a comeback after sitting out last season, suffered a serious pectoral injury that required surgery and will be out for the season, head coach Mike Smith said on Tuesday according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Tatupu, who was signed to a two-year, $3.6 million contract in March, was slated to compete with second-year linebacker Akeem Dent, of Douglass High and the University of Georgia, for the vacated starting middle linebacker spot. Tatupu received a guranteed $600,000 signing bonus and has a $1.25 million playing time escalator clause in his contract.
