Shoulder injury plagues Forney

Atlanta Falcons
11/08/2006 1:46 PM
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Falcons starting right OG Kynan Forney, whose right shoulder has popped out in three of the past five games, could miss extended time. Forney's shoulder, which originally was injured against Arizona on Oct. 1, popped out again against Detroit on Sunday. Reserve Austin King finished the game. "I don't know if surgery is an option right now," HC Jim Mora said. "I think that we have to decide how we want to go forward. It affects our numbers. It affects our team. It affects our ability to function when we are counting on Kynan and he gets hurt. That's not his fault." After the Arizona game, Forney played the following week against the New York Giants without incident. It popped out against Pittsburgh, and he was inactive against Cincinnati before it popped out against Detroit. Read more

HC Bill Cowher believes they may come from frustration. "I don't think there's any question there's some frustration involved with that," Cowher said. "But you've got to maintain your cool." The Steelers also committed two unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties in Oakland, one of which cost LB Joey Porter a $15,000 fine from the league for saying something to the officials. Read more
