I've been touting Nate the past week, but he might not be ready after the Lions BYE week. Mort is saying another couple weeks. Hopefully Mort is wrong, because I'm going to need Nate with Blackmon getting suspended.
Nate Burleson - WR - Lions
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported on NFL Live Friday that Nate Burleson (arm) is not expected back after the Lions' Week 9 bye.
It sounds like he'll need at least a few more games before he's ready to play following a car accident that fractured Burleson's arm. "He will not be back (after) the bye week," reported Mort. "Give him a couple more weeks at least." Kris Durham will continue to hold down No. 2 receiver duties in Detroit.
