Jamie Silva tears ACL, Matt Bryant wins kicking job

August 16, 2010

First, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Colts defensive back Jamie Silva is out for the season after tearing his ACL in yesterday’s preseason game against the 49ers. Silva was signed by Indy after going undrafted in 2008 and has primarily been [...]

According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Chargers restricted free-agent linebacker Shawne Merriman has signed his one-year, $3.269 million tender.

When Broncos linebacker/pass-rushing extraordinaire Elvis Dumervil went down with a torn pectoral last week, it was a foregone conclusion that he’d miss most, if not all, of the season.
