Chicago Rush News Release
The Chicago Rush placed WR/DB Donnie Caldwell on the AFL's injured reserve list and filled his roster spot by signing offensive specialist Reggie Allen to a contract for the rest of the season, the team announced today.
Caldwell tore the ACL in his right knee in the first half of Chicago's 65-35 win over Colorado and will miss the rest of the season. At the time of the injury, Caldwell was the team's second-leading tackler, recording 11.5 tackles and an interception in two-plus games.
Allen (6-0, 185, Central Michigan) returns to the Rush after spending time with the team during training camp, and on the practice squad earlier this season.
The Rush (3-0) travels to Indianapolis Sunday for a Central Division battle with the Indiana Firebirds. Fans in Chicago can watch the game, beginning at 2 p.m., on NBC 5 Chicago or listen to Tom Dore and John Jurkovic call the action on ESPN 1000.
The Rush returns home to Allstate Arena Sunday, March 21, at 11 a.m. against the Orlando Predators. Fans wishing to purchase individual game tickets to the Orlando game, or any of the Rush 2004 home games, may order by calling Ticketmaster at (312) 559-1212, or by visiting the Ticketmaster Web site at www.ticketmaster.com.
