The Facts:
One day after leaving the field on a cart, Orton was undergoing more tests on his right ankle to determine the extent of his “I’m not playing doctor; you shouldn’t either,” HC Lovie Smith said Monday. “You should let us come and tell you once we know for sure exactly what the injury is. We’re hopeful, I’ll just say that.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Orton was examined after the game and underwent tests Monday morning, Smith said. More were scheduled for later in the day, but the odds of him being ready for this week’s game against Tennessee certainly don't look good. In fact, it's been widely reported that Orton will miss at least four weeks with a high ankle sprain. Smith would neither confirm nor deny those reports. “It’s an ankle injury," he said. "That’s about all I’m going to tell you right now. Wednesday, I’ll tell you more.” One thing he's sure to say is that Rex Grossman will start Week 10.
