The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Spiller found tough going on the ground for the second straight week during Sunday’s victory over the Ravens and he also had to leave the game early because of an injury for the second straight week. It was his ankle, not his quadriceps, this time and the other big difference is that Spiller’s not feeling as confident about his chances of playing in Week 5 as he was this time last week about facing Baltimore. “If I can get to 80-85 percent, that’ll be good,” Spiller said, via the team.
Diehards Line:The fact that this week’s game against the Browns falls on Thursday likely contributes to that feeling, but Spiller said he’ll deem himself ready to go if he’s feeling in the neighborhood of 100 percent. ... Meanwhile, Spiller said his frustration level was a 10 out of 10 as a result of the nagging injuries he’s picked up over the last two weeks. The good news, it still sounds as if the knee injury Fred Jackson suffered wasn't serious. If Spiller can’t go, Jackson and Tashard Choice would handle the running duties in Week 5.
