Robiskie Injured; Penguins Rejoice

1460 The Fan and Doug Lesmerises's blog at the Plain Dealer are reporting that Brian Robiskie suffered a separated shoulder today. Apparently it wasn't too bad, and it was popped back in on-site. He walked off the field with his arm in a sling. Robo is expected to miss the August 30th tilt with Youngstown State, and to be back week two.

This isn't very good, but it's not very bad. Of course we'd like to see Robo get as many reps as possible heading into the USC game, especially since he missed spring practice recovering from knee surgery. However, as fans and mere observers of the team, this will give us a sneak peak into the abyss of the depth chart at WR. Commentators agree that one of the biggest question marks for this team early is whether Ray Small will be that world-class sicko that Ted Ginn Sr. said we were getting, and if not, who was going to fill in that #3 receiver role.

My prediction: this injury will give DeVier Posey the chance to open some eyes a lot earlier than anyone could have thought.
