Vinatieri has broken foot

[Kittymama]

From ESPN... How ironic is it that the Colts get Vinatieri (& we get Vandy), forcing the Pats to draft a kicker--& they end up with a kid who can't miss, while the two pros are both injured?!

Report: Vinatieri has broken bone in non-kicking footESPN.com news services

Right-footed kicker Adam Vinatieri has a broken bone in his left foot, The Indianapolis Star reported Thursday.

"That's what he told us about a week and a half ago," Vinatieri's mother, Judy, told the paper. "They sent him to a specialist. They found a small broken bone in his foot."

The Indianapolis Colts have characterized the injury as a damaged ligament in the ankle and said the kicker is day-to-day. It is unclear whether Vinatieri will play when the team opens against the Giants Sept. 10.

"Probably day-to-day or maybe week-to-week," Judy Vinatieri told the Star. "He never said a word to us about that."

Their rookie has kicked in preseason not a playoff game in the snow. Dont put him in canton yet.

Poor mother... I hope the reporters were at least nice to her.

I wonder how that happened?...Golf cart ran over his foot?? I guess it might be possible to torque your foot really badly while it's planted, especially at his level but it's not like kickers practice very hard.

Maybe he kicked that onside kick a little too hard :Wink:

That darn Seahags kicker is looking better and better everyday now.

Interesting, I wonder how this will effect Vinateiri.

I did like that kicker from Memphis the Pats got. He just looks big and with a strong leg and he seems to handle pressure well. He might be a good one.


The Pats really bug me sometimes.

Maybe Manning called him a drunk, so he kicked Payton arse.

Whew. When I saw the name Vinatieri, I thought it said Vanderjagt. Too many V names. Sorry about Vinatieri. Just hope Vandy gets well and gives us the reliable money kicker we've been needing for a long time.
