Football: Barker breaks leg

It's very unfortunate for such a highly touted performer:

Rookie Dylan Barker, the first overall pick in the 2008 Canadian college draft, left in the first quarter with a suspected broken left leg.

GM Bob O'Billovich said if Barker's left tibia is indeed broken, the rookie would be placed on the nine-game injured list, meaning he would be lost at least until mid- September.
