ESPN 980 just reported that Sanatan Moss injured his hamstring during this morning's practice. They didn't say whether or not it was a severe injury.

Devin Thomas came up limping after catching a pass from Colt Brennan. Thomas went to the trainers' tent and emerged limping noticeably with his right leg wrapped. Doesn't look good. Can't tell if it's his calf or knee, but my immediate reaction, based solely on his gait is that we won't see him on the field for a couple of days.
Malcolm Kelly is practicing and looks fine. He appears to be getting a few more reps. Of course, he wasn't hurt; he was just getting the afternoons off as a precaution.
After practice ended at 10:26, Jim Zorn met with reporters and indicated that Thomas' hamstring is not pulled. The team is just being cautious with him and wants to make sure nothing gets aggravated.
Zorn on Moss... wrote:"I think everything is okay," Jim Zorn said. "He felt a little jerk in his hamstring. We’re going to get it iced down."
but our training staff and coaches just seem to blow it off each camp and then wonder why players arent in great condition when the season comes around or why there behind in the offense because they werent getting reps in practice
Everybody needs to chill out. This is two a days. It's freaking hot. People sweat...a lot. They are professionals so I'm sure they know how to stretch. But sometimes with the heat and extra work, dehydration may play a factor and muscles tighten up. Please let's try not to over react. Until somebody says something is torn, just relax. This happens all over the league I'm sure.Hoss wrote:Gotta agree with our history with hamstrings. It seems there is always an inordinate amount each year. I'm not saying that this is the case now i.e. hamstring pulls, but you'd hope this is being addressed by the training staff.

Good Lord. I wonder if any other team has such China Dolls on their recieving corps. I had blocked this daily dance out of my mind but it sounds like we are going down that road again.

Injuries are probably one of the main topics of a press report - why would the order in which this comes up matter?Gibbs4Life wrote:1. We give too much glory to the injured...every presser starts with the injury report, 80% of reporter questions are about injuries

There is only one way to fix our hamstring problem and it won't be with trainers; it's with TRUE competition and a sustained culture of no practice no play, and not enough practice no job. A guy like Devin Thomas doesn't have to earn squat...he could grab his hammy for the next 4 years and retire with more money than probably all of this board combined, never worrying about money again, he's set, and it's not like his love and passion for football drives him to any great extent. We need a solid front office and coaching staff that takes a tougher stance on players who DOG IT when the team needs them.
Also, Jason Campbell doesn't have to wait for the season to start to display his leadership...he needs to give Devin Thomas a straightening out. Peyton certainly would...of course players respect Peyton Manning...does Jason have the teams respect? I don't think Devin Thomas respects or cares about anyone but Devin Thomas
he idolizes michael irvin, unfortunately its the irvin off the field he idolizes on the field devin is michael irvin without the skill passion and the work ethic.
