Tim Rattay Placed On IR - Out For The Season

Starting quarterback Tim Rattay has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the 2010 UFL season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon that he injured in last weeks game against Sacramento. Drew Willy was recently announced the starter for the upcoming home game against the Hartford Colonials. Willy played college ball at the University of Buffalo, and was a college stand-out. Willy holds almost every passing record for UB and took Buffalo to their first MAC Championship game in history and handed a heavily favored team the upset. He has been on the Baltimore Ravens roster, as well as the Indianapolis Colts.

The Locos have re-signed Russ Michna who was with the team last year, and was cut earlier in the year due to an injury he sustained while playing for the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football League. He will serve as the third string quarterback under Willy and Chase Clement.

What about JP Losman? Well the quarterback that took us to the UFL championship last year hasn't been in contact with the team at all. Coach Fassel said that he had considered trying to bring Losman back, but has trust for the young guys that are on the team.

Locos Backup QB Michna Injured

Russ Michna who currently plays for the Chicago Rush in the Arena Football League, but was also a backup QB last season for the Locos and was slated to come back this year has a broken rib. He was hurt during a game, and is out for the rest of the AFL season. It's unknown how this will affect his chances at returning to the Locos. He had the highest percentage of completed passes this season in the AFL.
