Week Nine AFL Injury Report

March 26, 2003 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I) News Release


NEW YORK -- San Jose has recorded at least one rushing touchdown in all eight games this season and leads the AFL with 26 to date. The SaberCats' top-ranked rushing offense scored four times on the ground against Arizona last week, including two scores by FB/LB KEALA KEANAAINA. San Jose is on pace for 52 rushing touchdowns, which would shatter the League record of 41 (St. Louis, 1996). If they continue at this rate, the SaberCats would claim the No. 1 spot in rushing touchdowns for a fifth consecutive season. Twenty of San Jose's rushing scores have come during the team's current five-game winning streak.
