Eli out with a "heel injury" (1 Viewer)

[Puntz]

wonder how long that will last...

 

[mybad4990]

Not long I think. It was a noncontact injury, and he's got 2 weeks to prepare for us, so I think he'll be ready.

They have a game next week, although they play Oakland, so it's almost like a bye week.

Did anyone else get to see it? That was by far the funniest thing I've ever seen in a football game.

 

[shaqtaw]

to bad he had already hung 31 fantasy points on me. lol

Shannon Sharpe said he hurt his foot by kicking the Cheifs in the butt all day. That was freakin hillarious.

 

[mdharper]

Looked like Achilles to me.

The official description of the injury is a bruised heel. At least that is what the announcers were saying. There was absolutely no one anywhere close to him when it happened. It was a very odd looking way to get injured.

doesnt it seem like every week a major component of our opposition's team gets injured

 

[Overseas_Saint]

He is my only qb in fantasy league and has been doing well lately

I was rolling on the couch when I heard that.

I thought it looked more like an achilles, too. The fact that the Giants are claiming bruised heel after watching the replay has me wondering if the spin is on.

Yeah, he stepped on his own foot. Typical Eli. LOL.

Remember Dan Marino rupturing his Achilles? IIRC he took the snap, dropped back to pass, and fell in a heap, with nobody near him. I saw a rugby player go down in very similar fashion recently - same injury. I haven't seen Eli's incident, but just because it looks innocuous, it doesn't necessarily mean it is innocuous.

Same thing happened to Billy Joe Hobert in a game against the Rams, season opener I believe. Just dropped back to pass and went down without being touch, ruptured achilles.

happened to vinny testeverde for the jets at the beginning of the 1999 season in teh 1st game, dropped back and went down untouched. was out for the year.

Eli's didn't look that serious, but its something to monitor
