Crud... Newman out two weeks... Plantar Fascitis *Merge*

According to Wade.

And he's not giving much info, although he said he wasn't a bruise (as before).

Sounds like one of those things that is worse than they're letting on.

No big deal if it's only two weeks. We get to see if one of our corners can step up in the preseason. Maybe Wade will start Thomas or one of the rookies.

So he's out the rest of PS i'm guessing. That's OK with me as long as he's OK for the Gints.

 

[zrinkill]

****** what happened?

 

[DCBoysfan]

Man....I wonder what happen...

 

[theogt]

Two weeks ain't bad. He should be ready for Week 1.

 

[zrinkill]

Was it on a punt return!!!! I knew It!!!!'

 

[SupermanXx]

Man....I wonder what happen...

Expect to see Purcells in handcuffs very soon.

If it's just two weeks, no problem. But Wade was strangely evasive when asked about it.

I just have a feeling it's more serious than what he was saying. I hope I'm wrong.

And BTW, Wade more or less said he didn't have much faith in the rest of the guys behind Glenn. Guess the reports that we weren't happy with our corner depth were no joke.

 

[zrinkill]

Why ? ....... Why? ........

 

[Bungarian]

Any idea what he hurt?

Yea but they also said Glenn would be out two also.

Everyone warned that Newman was already an old man when drafted. Now he is succumbing to old player injuries.

Two weeks is not a big deal. As long as he is healthy after those two weeks I have confidence he can step on the field and play at a high level. Now if it is a nagging injury that hangs around all season, his play may drop off. We will have to wait and see.

I'm pretty sure they were saying 4 weeks for Glenn from the beginning. They did say 2 weeks for Hatcher and that's what it took.

I dont know, but I am more and more now, I dont want Newman returning punts, do whatever you have to do, go and get a punt returner, or trade for one, just get one,

i do remember phillips had newman returning punts with crayton the other day, and next thing we know he has a bruised heel.

so do whatever you have to do, get a punt returner, or trade for one, joe

why don't we put one of our 1st/2nd round LBers out there..since that seems to be the only position this team spends premium draft picks on anymore...I will say it again...we will probably spend a 1st day pick on a CB and a WR this upcoming draft..but it will be one year 2 late.

 

[superpunk]

Mmmmm....cupcakes.

 

[dmq]

I'm sure he would play if we had a game today. No need to risk anything right now.

Bruised heal? Now saying its more than that? I sure hope its not an achilies. Anyone remember how Kevin Smith was after his achilies injury?

Probably a deep bone bruise.
