Friday injury update not really a big surprise.
So much for all of that optimism from middle linebacker Jon Beason about being ready for Sunday's season-opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Beason (knee) and Victor Cru (calf) have both been ruled out for Sunday night.
Beason suffered a knee injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first quarter of the first preseason game. He practiced Wednesday, but skipped Thursday when the knee swelled up. He had hoped it would calm down enough for him to play, but apparently it did not.
