Mean Papi Green Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Leg injury might sideline Reed for start of camp Associated Press PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles safety/kick returner J.R. Reed injured his leg in a freak accident last month and might not be ready for the start of training camp this summer. Reed damaged a nerve that affects the use of his lower leg and foot. Reed cut the back of his knee while jumping over a fence near his home in Tampa, Fla., and damaged a nerve that affects the use of his lower leg and foot. Reed had surgery March 1, and his status for camp is uncertain. "I feel terrible for J.R.," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "He's worked his entire life to try to make it this far. And to have a major setback like this occur in such a freak circumstance is awful. Knowing J.R., he'll continue to work hard to try and make it back on the field." Reed, the Eagles' fourth-round draft choice last year, returned 33 kickoffs for a 23.1-yard average. He also saw limited action at safety, recording 17 tackles. "It's a bad situation, but I'm going to be very positive about it going forward," Reed said. "I'm in the process of trying to get my leg working again." Meanwhile, quarterback Mike McMahon visited Philadelphia on Thursday. McMahon spent his first four seasons with the Detroit Lions. He has started seven games, but none since 2002. The NFC champion Eagles are seeking a third-string quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and Koy Detmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 That sounds like something that would happen to a baseball player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Of Bavaria Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 It could have been worse. he could have been chopping wood with an axe in the clubhouse. And who was the baseball player that screwed his arm up and blamed it on an accident in his driveway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 are you thinking Brian Griese who broke his nose falling drunk in his driveway and said he tripped over his dog going down the stairs in his house? I think there was a baseball player who fell out of his hotel bed and screwed up his arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that one, although that was funny, but it was along those lines. It was a baseball player who said he got hurt washing his car in the driveway I think....

Jetsfan80 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 verde girl might be right She is right. Kent claimed he hurt himself while WASHING HIS CAR. Supposedly, he tweaked his wrist doing so and cost himself a few months of playing time. In reality, he hurt his wrist in a motorcycle accident, but was trying to cover it up so the team wouldnt be able to re-coup some of the money they were paying him. Nice try, Jeff.

MiamiJet Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The remote control thing was bad, but what about the Jacksonville Jaguars punter and kicker both suffering 2nd and 3rd degree burns after tipping over a fondue pot? I know one of them was Chris Hanson, but I forgot who the other guy was. One of their wives was also seriously burned....Hot cheese or something.. :twisted: Idiots. WTF!?! No wonder kickers get so much grief... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
