AFL week one injury report

Published on January 26, 2006 under Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I) News Release

NEW YORK - QB SHERDRICK BONNER begins his 13th season with the Arizona Rattlers this weekend setting a new Arena Football League record for most seasons with one team. Bonner was previously tied for the record with his former teammate HUNKIE COOPER who spent 12 seasons with Arizona (1993-2004).

Bonner joined the Rattlers in 1993 and played through the 1998 season when he departed for a two-year stint in the NFL that included stops in Arizona, Atlanta and San Diego. He returned to the Rattlers in 2000 and has been with the club ever since.

Bonner's record-setting campaign kicks off Sunday in Los Angeles when the Rattlers take on the Avengers in one of three NBC broadcasts this weekend.
