Cards say linebacker has injury
United Press International
ST LOUIS - St Louis Cardinals veteran inside linebacker E.J. Junior will be out of action two to four weeks because of a badly sprained ankle, the club says.
Head coach Gene Stallings said the loss of Junior, who makes the team's defensive calls on the field, was a major blow.
“He's an important man in our
system because he handles
everything.” Stallings said,
“the one we’re concerned about.
"It's a bad sprain; not a break, but a bad one. It's on the inside as opposed to the outside and that takes a little longer to heal."
Junior was hurt in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Dallas.
Rookie Ron Monaco filled in for junior in Dallas, but Stallings said Tuesday he was unsure what to do about the situation in coming weeks.
“It's like putting a rookie linebacker in any team and giving him the responsibility to call it; he doesn't have it.” Stallings said.
His spirits were revived after he booted three field goals to help the Eagles defeat the San Diego Chargers in the second half.

PHILADELPHIA — A field goal kicker is only as good as his last game, so the Philadelphia Eagles' Paul McFadden was suffering after he missed two kicks in a 17-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
"I try to keep my emotions on as even a leak as possible," said McFadden, who has made 10 of 13 field goal tries this season. "I tried not to get too low last week and this week I tried not to get too high because next week is coming. But I was down last week. There's no doubt about it."
"In fact, I purposely sat down and thought to myself about how I wanted to go about it," he said. "And I didn't want to make any changes. I thought I hit two poor balls and I didn't want to overreact to the situation. I didn't want to go out and overkill either. I wanted to be very careful — just not overreact and do anything silly."
"I think he felt the same way I did." McFadden said. "He wanted to come in and help this week. He had trouble the week before also. He was kind of still down in the dumps and kicking the dirt and said 'I didn't get many chances.' He seemed a little frustrated. You want to be able to come in and contribute."
Luckily for McFadden, he didn't have to wait long to find his redemption, giving the Eagles a 3-0 lead against the Chargers with a 33-yard field goal at 8:32 of the first quarter.
San Diego's Rolf Benschruse, on the other hand, never got a chance to try to make up for a missed field goal that doomed the Chargers to a 42-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs one week earlier.
He said he tried not to overreact to his two misses — a 34-yard that was partially blocked and a 31-yard that
"It's a long week any time you have a game like the dada game," he said. "You can do a lot of things. You
Kicker boots Eagles to victory
McFadden is a sensitive sort who takes his failures much harder than he celebrates his successes.
The third-year kicker said he had learned the value of stability.
"It's such a fine line," he said. "I went into the Dallas game feeling like I was having a pretty good year so far but two swings of the leg and the year went from a halfway decent year to a poor year right away. So it can happen quick."
can try to work extra, do this and that, but the only thing you can do to put it behind you is to have a game like (the Chargers' contest)."
