When was this?

Homer: Aw, twenty dollars! I wanted a peanut!
Homer's Brain: Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
Homer: Explain how!

Where did you read that?

I knew he hurt it a couple weeks ago, I assume this means he re-aggravated it trying to come back and test it out.

Now limping off. Holding left hammy. That didn’t look good

Didn’t see Ross after practice. Told he was carted off

TC on 31’ hammy: “Poor kid can’t get past that.” Indicated the orig inj not as bad as Canty’s but don’t know yet about latest tweak

Thats what I was saying, I’m trying not to feel relieved that your team is feeling some of the injury bug that has plagued us. I would rather both play fully healthy, but with us demolished by injuries it was beginning to look like we were going to fall apart.

Now we can both fall apart

How about the injury plague head over to the Cowgirls? All they have lost is a couple of rookie backups.

Andrews

Even if he does somehow play in week 1 (or any point this season), I guarantee this is not the last of this type of drama. Honestly, it is like T.O., where you hold your breath, waiting for the next issue to surface (and to TO’s credit, at least he busts his ass to get on the field) I am convinced that Shawn will never be right in the head, and it would be best to move him. Reid can only try to cover up and pretend for so long, eventually it is going to boil over.

HATER!

shawn is busting his ass to get out on the field, in fact, busting his ass too hard is the culprit for this injury. He is a great player, and has nothing but the utmost desire to get back on the field

Speculation.
