Otogwe's got a bad hammy?
crap

Didn't feel like making another thread about this, but...

Blast from the past.. Kelly and Thomas will forever be linked at the hip. Both could never stay on the field healthy. At least they got paid millions of dollars to stay on IR and warm up the bench..

Coughlin on D. Thomas: 'It'll be a while' - Giants Blog - ESPN New York

As far as Devin Thomas and his dislocated finger are concerned, head coach Tom Coughlin says, “It’ll be a while.”

“It’s a bad spot for a receiver,” Coughlin said of the injury, in which the bone broke the skin.

For Thomas to return, the training staff has to confident there will be no infection.

“I’m sure it will be until the time when they feel like he’s not going to gain some kind of infection because of the taping, untaping, showering, all that,” Coughlin said. “So, let’s face it, it’s a bad spot for a receiver because there are an awful lot of things that Devin could be doing out there other than that. It’ll be a while, it’ll be a while.”

Thomas had been a candidate for the No. 3 wide receiver spot, but with him not being able to compete for that spot in training camp, that appears in jeopardy. Thomas had also been hampered by an ankle injury during camp as well.

Actually, Thomas was healthy for most of his tenure here. It was more due to his "rawness" that he never saw the fielded.

Just wanted to say that right now from 11-1am Leonard Hankerson is playing against Wisconsin on the Bigten network.

Three #Redskins safeties -- OJ Atogwe (hamstring), Kareem Moore (knee) and LaRon Landry (Achilles) -- are not practicing Monday.

LB London Fletcher is also working off to the side, not practicing with team.

Please let me know when I should panic about our injuries at both safety positions. I'm holding it together for now.

I think it's acceptable to be nervous about our secondary

Hopefully this will help....

LaRon Landry says he's coming off the PUP list in time for the Baltimore game next week. #Redskins

I hope Atogwe is not out for long, I'd like to see how he fits in this defense. More importantly, I'd like to see him healthy.

Mike Shanahan says on James Davis "If u see him, let me know," and was it unexcused absence "that's very fair to say." #Redskins

Mike Shanahan said TE Fred Davis has had "a heckuva camp." Davis could see increased role if Chris Cooley is sidelined.

Is it possible that MS and KS have been touting Beck all offseason to light a fire under Rex and get him to work harder in the hopes that he will prove to be a better QB?

Sounds like genius coaching to me.....and does anyone else wonder more and more every day why Malcolm Kelly is still occupying a roster spot on our team? I am tired of waiting. Lets get someone in there who can contribute in our practices. Kelly will probably be cut and be in on a handful of plays during our workouts and preseason games. Why not get a guy in there that can contribute and be a "sleeper" starter (no names come to mind. Im sure someone will think of several) that will probably be cut anyway, but we can get some benefit from having?

[SmootSmack]

I suspect they're working on an injury settlement with Kelly...but I'm just guessing

As for Rex, yes I believe a big part of touting Beck was a negotiating/motivating ploy toward Rex.

What I find curious is that Grossman turned down a longer term deal (I forget if it was here or elsewhere) for a short term deal. To me, that tells me that Rex believes he's going to start this year and have the opportunity to prove he deserves a long term contract.

But I mean if Beck doesn't start, what does that mean for him? Seems like this year is kind of make or break for his career, particularly as a starter.

It could possibly say something about Grossman's character. Perhaps he is making personal goals and beleives this is his last chance to make it in this league. And I think if Beck has a solid preseason it will be nice to know we have a decent backup. Plus, does Beck have a cult yet? Maybe he will get one of those too.
