Adrian Peterson reportedly could need surgery after re-injuring his collarbone at the Fiesta Bowl.
He disclosed the injury at the NFL Scouting Combine, although it didn't slow him down during drills. A second team thought the re-injury was "minor" in the scheme of things. He still seems to be a surefire top ten pick.

With it being "leaked" now, it makes me really suspiscious. They are quotting SI.com.

[ludo21]

Bills leaked this info so they can get AD...

[BroncoInferno]

Let's take a flier on him in the 6th ;D

[SoCalBronco]

As usual, a bunch of hogwash, people just want him to fall.


Alan Branch has 3 different forms of cancer, OMG!!!!

Gay.

[Garcia Bronco]

If he disclosed it at the combine...he disclosed at the combine.

[Clockwork Orange]

Yeah, Alan Branch had both legs amputated, too.

and I heard he eats crayons...

[Garcia Bronco]

It kills me...you people are like Enron executives...the guy has missed major time the past two seasons, and yet you refuse to acknowledge he's injury prone to this point in his career.

[Popcorn Sutton]

I heard Calvin Johnson smokes pot.

[TexanBob]

Ummm, did anyone see the last offensive play Oklahoma ran this season? Nothing looked wrong with Peterson then.

Let me refresh your memory. First play of OT from the Boise State 25, Peterson takes the pitch and takes it outside then cuts up then cuts back toward the sidelines and scampers in for the touch.

Injured collarbone, my ass!

[theAPAOps5]

Garcia I agree he has an injury bug and it is hardly addressed even on TV. Although a collar bone is more fluke than his knee was but still he has had his share. Another thing about the collar bone is that sometimes it doesn't set right so it can break pretty easily and sometimes it grows calcium deposites and makes this big lump. A buddy of mine has what looks like his twin growing out of his collar bone after he broke it riding dirt bikes.

[Clockwork Orange]

Marshawn Lynch has a back injury, too.

At least, that's the rumor. ::)

[theAPAOps5]

Yeah, Alan Branch had both legs amputated, too.

Allan Branch has Ulcerative Colitis. He missed an interview last week.

[Clockwork Orange]

Terence Newman has nerve damage in his neck, too.

[MadCity]

True story, Amobi Okoye was born without a right big toe.

:tinfoilha ;)

Yeah but he just puts two popsicle sticks where the toe is supposed to be. Thats the secret to his success. Popsicle sticks cure all.

I heard Brady Quinn has morgellons, but his hodgkins keeps it in check

I don't like RB's running like a bean pole. Doesn't matter now since he will not be a Bronco.

[Killericon]

I heard Brady Quinn was born without a heart, and Jamarcus Russell was born with no brains, and Troy Smith was born with no goddamned respect, I tell ya.

[Kaylore]

Troy Smith was born with no goddamned respect, I tell ya.
And no national championship.

;D

Getting closer to the weekend.....all the trash is coming out now!!!



Teams wary of Peterson's health
Oklahoma RB re-injured his collarbone in Fiesta Bowl.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/don_banks/04/25/peterson/index.html


Former Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson, an almost certain top-10 pick in the first round of Saturday's NFL draft, re-injured his collarbone in the Sooners' loss in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day -- an injury that has not been previously disclosed except to NFL teams.

Peterson broke his collarbone on Oct. 14 against Iowa State and missed the rest of Oklahoma's regular season, returning for the first time in the bowl game against Boise State. Peterson made NFL teams aware of the re-injury at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.

But at least two teams that SI.com spoke to acknowledged that Peterson's health was a consideration in their draft analysis.

A high-level source on one team said the evaluation of his team's medical staff was that Peterson will require a surgical procedure, which would delay his availability at the start of training camp and perhaps longer. That team estimated Peterson would be sidelined after the procedure for "two or three months." That would likely mean Peterson would miss the entire offseason workouts of the team that drafted him and make him questionable for the early part of the preseason.

"Because of him re-injuring it in the bowl game, it's not as far along as it should be, it's not healed," said a team executive. "He lost three months with the re-injury. The question is, will it be healed enough to take a hit. Or will he hurt it again, the way [ex-Detroit receiver Charles Rogers] kept doing.

"It's not enough to take him off anyone's board, but it's a concern because of his straight-up running style. He has been a bit injury-prone and now you've got a situation where you're drafting damaged goods."

A source on a second team stressed that Peterson's re-injury was a "minor" consideration in the grand scheme of things.

"If we take, we take him because he's a good football player," the source said. "If it takes him time to heal, it takes him time. We're looking at his skills. But it's one of those things that everyone in the league knows about. He re-injured it in the Fiesta Bowl, but he kept playing."

Peterson told SI last week that he was "completely healthy," and that his collarbone injury had suffered no setbacks during the course of his rehabilitation. Peterson underwent a re-check from NFL medical personnel earlier this month at which time the status of his recovery was forwarded to NFL teams. That is a common step in the league's medical evaluation process for draft prospects with injury concerns discovered at the combine.

Peterson, the top-rated running back in the draft, is a candidate to go as high as No. 3 to Cleveland and is not expected, in any scenario, to last past No. 10 Houston.

bump to merge

[ColoradoBuff]

Thanks Garcia!

He never hurt his knee, he had a high ankle sprain. however, his running style would steam to lead to more injuries.

[Los Broncos]

Yeah, Alan Branch had both legs amputated, too.

ROFL!

[Garcia Bronco]

Petersons injuries are a big concern...I don't think he'll slide like Lendale White, or even close, because this draft is very weak compared to last seasons...but no one wants to address his injury problems

Some of those Oklahoma fans might owe you an apology in 3 years. :welcome:

For me...the amusing thing is they'll call i=his collar problem a freak injury....as if there is any other kind that makes one miss a whole season

[theAPAOps5]

I misspoke on the knee I don't know why I thought that.
