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.

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

If only we still had Marko Mitchell...

Seriously though, time is running out on Kelly.

Right????

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.

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.

Taylor Jacobs revisited anyone?

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

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.

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.
