The Facts: McMichael limped off the field twice during Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bills with what was thought to be an ankle injury. Turns out that McMichael has a broken tibia, or shin bone.
Diehards Line:McMichael is expected to be sidelined a minimum of six weeks, which would keep him out of the lineup until at least mid-November. McMichael is third on the team in receptions (11) and third in reception yards (139) this season. With McMichael out, remaining tight ends Anthony Becht and Joe Klopfenstein will have expanded roles in the offense.
