Oregon RB Stewart Undergoes Surgery For Turf Toe

Clare Farnsworth, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

University of Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart, who is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, underwent surgery on Wednesday to correct a turf toe injury. He is expected to miss the next several weeks of workouts and/or on-field activities while he recovers.

Wow this will hurt his draft status.

He might drop like a stone now.

I think that's a good thing for my hometown team, the Texans. So many draft pundits have us taking Stewart at #18. Now maybe they'll be smart and take a CB like Aqib Talib instead and grab a RB in the later rounds (if they want one - they just signed Chris Brown from the Titans).

I cant believe how far Talib has fallen.He was a top 10 pick before the combine.

I'm glad he's fallen. It means he should be available when the Texans pick.
