MATHIS PULLS A WINSLOW

 

A league source tells us that Texans receiver Jerome Mathis is sporting casts on both hands and bandages on his wrists and arms due to a recent motorcycle accident. 

 

The accident happened recently, and nearly a year to the day after Browns tight end Kellen Winslow auditioned for the role of Superman by flying over the handlebars after attempting a reverse wheelie.  Winslow suffered far more extensive injuries, including a torn ACL that knocked him out for the 2005 season.

 

Per the source, the injuries to Mathis appear to be limited to his arms.  The source added that Mathis looks like "a mummy from the elbows down" (which raises all sorts of interesting bathroom issues). 

 

Coincidentally, both Winslow and Mathis are represented by the Postons.

 

Attention all NFL players.  You are not invincible.  And you need your bodies to make your living.  So wait to do the motorcycle thing, or any other potentially dangerous activities, until after your careers are over. 

 

Playing pro football should be enough of a rush.  When you can't play pro football anymore, then go look for other ways to get your bodies snapped and twisted 100 different ways

Here we go JJ. This story isn't anywhere else that I could find. Lets see how it pans out.

Another reason to draft Bush to fill the new void in returner.

Actually, everything I have heard so far indicates that he will be back in time for TC. :D Not sure I would want my #1 overall RB returning kicks anyway. :D

That would be a lot of cash and risk for a #1 pick. First time they saw him get creamed he would never return another kick.

While I'm 110% sure you're right DMD, I do recall a study I read once on the injury chances for KR / PR ~ vs ~ RB.

 

It's something like 5 X more likely to happen to RB's per the same # of touches. Nothing earth shattering, but the disparity did surprise me a little.

Now he's likely out for the season opener with a busted foot.

Mathis missed the Texans workout yesterday and when he wasn’t on the field today, it was revealed that Mathis will likely miss the start of the 2006 regular season with a broken bone in his left foot.

Texans Pro Bowl return specialist Jerome Mathis will likely miss the start of the 2006 season because of a stress fracture in his foot. He will undergo surgery on Friday. Mathis was involved in a motorcycle accident in March, but had been back to practice in the meantime. He will be off his feet completly for eight weeks. WR Jake Schifino and rookie RB Wali Lundy are candidates to help on returns.

When the Postons sign clients, do they give them dangerously unsound motorcycles as gifts? :D You'd think these two retards would tell their players, "Um, yeah, stop riding motorcycles, mmmmmmkay?"
