How Serious is the injury to Heyer

T.O.Killa · 10-14-2007, 09:34 PM

Heyer was the only bright spot with all the injuries we sustained. He was our back up left and right tackle. From what i Could see his knee just gave out. Does anyone have an update. If he is gone for the season we are in trouble. Also with all these injuries, it will be hard to reserve a roster spot for Thomas.

i dont know but that was a sad sight, seeing him try to limp off the field..anybody else feel the same when the injury happened?

I don't believe that it was his knee, but rather a groin or hamstring injury. His back leg slipped as he tried to block Kampman, and he nearly did a split - not a pretty thing for a 320 lb man. That Kampman is an absolute beast. If we had something like that at left DE, we might have the best defense in the league.

I think we're pretty close right now, honestly. I'd put up our defense right now against any team in the league and I think our D gives us a good chance to win, if the offense can contribute.

i think our d is better than theirs RIGHT NOW

I thought it was a hamstring aslo, but I read otherwise. I hope it is a mistake. O-Line Depth Tested Again

I agree that our D is better than GBs right now, and we're getting close to the league's elite. A guy like Kampman would make the D downright scary. Our team speed at LB and in the secondary makes it difficult for even teams with good passing attacks. After seeing Dallas shredded by Brady, I really believe that the Skins D will match up better against NE.

He was holding the back of his leg when he was down on the ground, not his knee. I think it's a hammy.

HA!! I don't even want to think about NE right now. They are going to absolutely rip us up. We need to think about getting healthy and hopefully feasting on a Tim Rattay-led Arizona sqaud in FedEx next week. It better be a tough week of practice.

T.O.Killa · 10-14-2007, 09:56 PM

I saw the same thing, but he could not walk. I hope thats all it is.

Tim Rattay? What happened to Warner?

God I hope Heyer is ok. We may really need him soon...

Let's hope Wade is okay... and can let Heyer heal.

Tough week of practice? Hell, 1/2 the team is injured there won't be any practice!

In sort of a surreal scene, we watched Heyer get injured with his mom, Glenda. She and the father of Leigh Torrence (29) watch the Skins' games with the Atlanta Redskins Fan Club at the Bucket Shop in Buckhead. When Stephon came in, the place went nuts. When he went down, his mama was very concerned as you can imagine. Here's a note from his mom.

Just to let everyone know Steph will be fine. He has a pulled hamstring. Thank everyone for their concern. We truly appreciate everyones kindness and support.
Sincere Thank you's,
Stephon's Mom
