Hamstring injury. You never know with them. This could mess up his whole season or it could be nothing.

Awesome. Malcolm needs a consistent streak of good health or his career is going to flicker out. This isn't good news.

I had a pretty intense session in the weight room on Sunday, and followed it up with a 5 mile interval run. My right hamstring was tight as shit all day Monday and yesterday. Today it was fine. Hamstring tightness could be something, could be nothing. Hopefully Malcolm works it out.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

Kelly sure has had a time with nagging injuries. I consided this a make or break season for Kelly.

Thanks for the update on your workout

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

If only we still had Marko Mitchell...

Seriously though, time is running out on Kelly.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

Either Kelly has bad "luck", or just a bad body. Seems like the other guys who have gone to McNabb's camp every year came out okay, and I hope this was a fluke. It's football and there are always injuries, but I'm just tired of our WRs constantly pulling hammy's and getting surgery -- and blaming those for lack of production. Again, another lingering injury ruins his career. With McNabb here, this is it for him for excuses....

And yes, keep us updated GMScud. ;)

Shame is Kelly has impressed when healthy.

Impressed who? Zorn's staff or Shanahan's?

I know Zorn's staff and Vinny were impressed, but I tend to take their opinions with a grain of salt, all things considered.

Impressed Shanahan this past spring

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

[quote=SmootSmack;715122]Impressed Shanahan this past spring[/quote]

OK that makes me feel a little better about him.

I can't help it, after a 4-12 season I tend to completely discount anything Zorn and Vinny ever said. Makes me call into question the conventional wisdom that's been steered by the team's talent evaluation to date.

But I do trust Shanahan, so if he's impressed then I feel better.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

Could be nothing really. It's not out of the ordinary for guys to have some tightness as they start ramping back up to full speed.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

[quote=SmootSmack;715113]Shame is Kelly has impressed when healthy.[/quote]

more so than D.Thomas? I feel like DT had a distinct advantage coming out of last season, and this injury to MK just adds to it.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

Sign T.O. before the ink dries on his new contract.

He will miss two days. From reading a few articles the last couple of days it appeared that Malcom was right in line with the starting job, and that Shanahan likes what he can do.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

Wow, he's dropped 15 lbs. Sounds like a lot of guys are in top shape coming into this year.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

No big issue yet.

Arizona's heat is likely the culprit. He'll probably be fine in a few days.

Here's a better source that says a little more than "Malcolm Kelly got hurt":

[URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/wide-receivers/malcolm-kelly-injures-hamstrin.html?wprss=redskinsinsider"]Redskins Insider - Malcolm Kelly injures hamstring at Donovan McNabb's 'Hell Week'[/URL]

[QUOTE]Kelly experienced tightness in his hamstring during one of the workouts, the sources said. He immediately contacted the Redskins' medical/training staff for guidance. The Redskins plan to proceed cautiously with Kelly, who worked hard to overcome knee problems and microfracture surgery after his rookie season. Coach Mike Shanahan is expected to address Kelly's situation after the first practice Thursday.

Although the injury is not considered serious, the team would rather have Kelly rest and receive treatment than try to participate in the early stages of camp. Hamstring injuries can linger, especially when players rush back before they are completely healed.[/QUOTE]

Also as pft points out MK has missed 11 games in his frist 2 seasons, but i think some of the games he has missed has been because he just wasnt up to speed on things and he cant be used in special teams. Not all related directly to injury. When i first saw this thread i was thinking his knees, which is a huge relief. Hopefully the micro fractor surgery is going to work for him. Either way lets that hammy is good to go asap.

I agree. Kelly is the guy I really wanted to see step up, just because he's a huge target over the middle... I hope this is just a small blip and he gets going and gets on track..

I mean I dont know a ton about the everyday stuff and looking at his route running and what he did wrong last year to see the bench...but I felt like they never used him right. He's a huge dude, throw a couple fades, short 7 yard crossing routes and stuff like that... maybe he's not capable of it, I have no idea. The one thing I'm really excited for with Shannahan, is that I think he'll use guys the right way and play to their strenghts. Thats somethign that Zorn never did and to be honest there were times with Gibbs wehre I thought the same thing.

This is what pisses me off about Jason Reid:

"McNabb, as he did during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, invited some of his new teammates to his Phoenix-area home for a week of grueling workouts and team building. [I]Wideouts Devin Thomas, Santana Moss and Kelly were among those expected to participate."[/I]

Hell week is over and you still cant find find out exactly who participated?

Maybe you are not reading it the way that he intended? The way that I read it is that "They had no choice but to show up" as opposed to "We believe that they were going to attend but we are not quite sure." They Know who was there.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

Yeah, I read it as "expected by McNabb to show up or else...", not "we think these are the guys who are coming".

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

I'm half-expecting to see a headline that reads: "Malcolm Kelly Injured While Sleeping."

[U]If[/U] he can stay healthy, he may become a real weapon for this team. I think he needed to lose the weight to increase his quickness and speed - primarily his quickness. Now, with the work he's done on his conditioning, I think he's better positioned to succeed.

When he was in college he effectively used his big body to shield the ball from defenders and he was able to jump over them, as well. I think he [U]should[/U] be a solid possession receiver in the NFL.

We all should probably watch some old Ed McCaffrey highlights. That should tell us how Shanahan plans to use Kelly.

From what I had heard Kelly has been more impressive when both are on the field and the ball is being thrown to them. Kelly has some sick hands...unfortunately he's got sick legs too

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

This is becoming a recurring pattern with Kelly. If he has problems getting on the field this year due to health reasons, it may be time to cut bait.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

Well, two days doesn't sound like anything major. Agree with mlmpetert, Jason Reid is fairly useless. Redskins Insider hasn't provided anything inside for a while now.

[quote=SmootSmack;715185]From what I had heard Kelly has been more impressive when both are on the field and the ball is being thrown to them. Kelly has some sick hands...unfortunately he's got sick legs too[/quote]

I have no problem with DT's hands. From what I've seen, he catches everything thrown to him.

DT is a phenomenal athlete. Before he was drafted, it was well-known that he didn't have a lot of college experience at WR and that it would take some time for him develop as a pro WR. That has proven to be the case; however, when he finally gets it, his superior speed and quickness should help him to earn a starting job, IMHO.

As long as Kelly can stay on the field, I have a lot of faith that DT and MK can both have solid careers. I'm among those who thought that it would take them both some time to arrive, for different reasons (health, in the case of MK). I also believe that their development was retarded by inadequate conditioning, a pathetic offense under Zorn, and poor coaching by Stan Hixon.

I agree with you on DT. I think he's potentially on the verge of greatness. I think Kelly can be a solid starter for years (if he can stay healthy), but Thomas, in my opinion, has pro-bowl potential

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

Buster & Angry i see what you guys are saying and i think youre right. But it does seem that Reid doesnt put out nearly as much as JLC and doesnt have as much of a "insider" presence as JLC did. Plus Reid isnt nearly as critical as JLC was, which i liked a lot. Hopefully all that will change in time.

Of course, the Arizona cops immediately started chasing him...asking to see a copy of his contract. Can't blame Malcolm for running before stretching. :silly:

i'd say more like a 50 to 60 catch season with about 700 to 800 yards and 4 or 5 td's is more realistic. he's got to crawl before he can walk.

Re: Malcolm Kelly Injured During Hell Week
 

what is so annoying is these guys are part time players and they always seem to be nicked up. that is why i really wanted marshall. he plays week in and week out. and please no comments on the bs w/ mcdaniels during the last week of the season.

Malcolm Kelly=Taylor Jacobs
Soft and injury prone.
Has MK not been injured during a Redskins training camp? The guy is a walking hamstring injury.

MK was never known for having hamstring problems that was DT.

[quote=SmootSmack;715185]From what I had heard Kelly has been more impressive when both are on the field and the ball is being thrown to them. Kelly has some sick hands...unfortunately he's got sick legs too[/quote]Kind of my worst fears (nearly) realized with that 2008 draft class. I'd say more talent evaluation misses occur due to 1) overestimation of a sample of talent, and 2) injury history, than any other variables. Four months from now, we might be saying that Vinny missed on both variables on two different players in the same round.

Which would be very unlucky, but not shocking.
