Jeff Garcia Out with Broken Left Fibula

Fantasy Football Sleeper QB and insurance policy for quarterback Joey Harrington was lost on Friday when backup Jeff Garcia fractured his left fibula in the first quarter of the team's preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills.

Garcia scrambled for a 28-yard run on the final play of the first quarter but was tackled by Bills defensive back Terrence McGee by the right sideline and immediately went down in pain.

Steve Mariucci said "He has a broken fibula up high on his left leg, and a possible ankle sprain as well." "We are going to get an MRI in the morning just to see how badly the ankle might be sprained."
