Devin Thomas Injured

Check out other team's training camps, the injury bug should be hitting them just as hard.

As far as Devin Thomas is concerned it's not that big a deal. I mean I know a lot of people around here want him to be ready from day 1, but the reality is that Moss, ARE, and Thrash are probably going to be the top 3 WR's on opening night so to me it's not much of an issue so long as it doesn't end up being chronic.

If it happened next year then I'd be really worried, but the truth is that Kelly and Thomas are probably going to be brought along slowly and even more ironic is that of the three "pass catchers" Davis might see the most playing time, at least during the first half of the year.

Also Mix and Kelly seem to be doing pretty good so it's not like we'll be without big bodies for Campbell to throw to.

good post dirtbag. I agree it's not too big a deal for the team. I think it sucks for him cause he's gonna be behind in camp. Someone else will now have to take some of the flanker reps in practice.

HOpefully he & Kelly or Mix will be able to earn some pt by week 1, but like you said they may see little time at first. that's gonna be a competitive spot in camp.

10-14 days from what i hear, which isn't really bad at all...

I see your point, but when you're top rookie is going to miss 2 weeks of camp, it's threadworthy.

Carted off is probably thread worthy

So its only a matter of time before people start calling for the team to fire the training staff right?

Injuries are going to happen, and muscle pulls are common early on in camp. Why do people always need someone to blame?

unfortunately thats the world we live in....there is always a need for a fall guy.....LOL!!!! but you are as right as can be....muscles pulls are very common early in camp.

I see where your coming from bro..but like i said in football you're going to have bruise and pains..Unless its a knee or ankle problem we'll be in the clear. Its normal for a quick athlete or any athlete in this case to pull a hammie

I thought he should've made the catch. It initially looked like he lost track of the ball as Campbell placed it perfectly in front of him. Fans were disappointed but after finding out it was a hamstring injury it made since that he pulled up.

Speaking of injuries I'm kind of glad now that we didn't reach for DeMario Pressley on draft day. Looks like the durability concerns were valid. Then again you could argue that the circumstances leading up to the injury including getting drafted by the Saints could have produced that exact moment were DeMario was lost for the year. Just like one could argue that maybe not drafting a DE caused Daniels to play a certain way on that first play that led to his injury, or if the Redskins hadn't called that one play during the Dolphins game that injured Jansen then he would have never missed the entire 2007 season.

Or maybe Anthony Montgomery's broken hand could have been prevented by having a shorter coaching search. Either way you never know.

Also for the sake of entertaining myself I've decided to make a list of players who have experienced some sort of injury this camp. This is off the top of my head.

Santana Moss
Philip Daniels
Alex Buzbee
Laron Landry
Stuart Schwiegert
Chris Samuals
HB Blades
Devin Thomas
Malcolm Kelly
Jason Campbell
Fred Smoot
Clinton Portis
Ladell Betts
Antwaan Randle-El

Man even though that list is shorter then I anticipated and most of them are minor I still say that it's a scary list.

Also forgot from not off the top of my head
Anthony Montgomery
Carlos Rogers
Erasmus James
Rocky McIntosh
Kareem Moore
Chris Wilson
Rian Wallace
Anthony Mix
Eric Shelton

Damn, FIRE TYLER rofl.
