Buffalo Bills Aaron Schobel "Injured Again"

Bill Defensive End Aaron Schobel was not practicing on Monday and is expected to miss Saturday preseason game at Pittsburgh after suffering an injury at Green Bay over the weekend. Fortunately for Schobel it has nothing to do with the Lisfranc foot injury that cost him 11 games of the 2008 season. Aaron has a elbow injury and it may keep him out for a little while, "said Head Coach Dick Jauron. "We don't think it will be a problem for long, long term, it could be a week or so, maybe more than that. Schobel did not say at what point in the game suffered the injury against Green Bay on Saturday, but did explain just what he is dealing with. I hyperextended my elbow but I am fine, "Schobel said. "I just have to tighten it back up an I will ready to go. Having Schobel sit for this weekend game against Pittsburgh may not be the worst thing in the world as it will afford Buffalo's Defensive staff more opportunities to watch some other Defensive end who are fighting for a roster spot. Provided Schobel's elbow injury heals up quickly as he believes that the veteran defensive end should be available for the preseason finale on Sept. 3, but starters rarely play much at all in the final preseason game. I am going to take a week and then I should be alright, "he said. Finally, Schobel is a mediocre Defensive end and he is always hurt. The Bills should cut Schobel and start Chris Ellis at Defensive End.
