lhamp Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 (edited) When last we saw TJ, it was the third preseason game... he had a great game (96 yards and a td)... but late in the game he left with a mysterious "heel injury." Since then he's missed the last preseason game, the first regular season game, and he's not been able to get through a complete practice. So my question is.... what the He11 happened to that heel of his? I've been doing fantasy football since 1993 and I don't think I can remember a player missing a game, let alone two, with an "injured heel."

Naprvillains Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I've done some (non-scientific) research and believe he has the dreaded plantar fasciitis. Reports indicate he can walk and run straightline but can't cut. He also has a history of foot problems, including most recently at the end of last season in December, 2005. Link: http://fantasyfootball.usatoday.com/conten...2552&line=68028. Plantar fasciitis is a painful and slow-healing injury in which the thin soft tissue in the arch of the foot closer to the heel is inflamed. It makes lateral movement (i.e., a wide receiver's cuts) very difficult. The injury is such that it appears to "get better" followed by setbacks due to inflammaton. This is consistent with the reports coming out of the Bengals (i.e., he's playing, he's not playing, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD6405 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Probably the same off duty cop that shot Foley shot Housh in the foot. It's just a theory, probably wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicster Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I've had plantar fascitis before as well. If hurts like hell as whenever you stretch the arch of your foot, it causes pain. Whenever I would rest it, I would be fine and be able to do normal activites, but whenever I worked out or played basketball (how I got it) the next day it would fire up again and be hell to walk the next week. When I asked my orthopedic about it, he basically gave me a few stretches to do and told me that it would take some time for it to go away, but otherwise not much he could do about it. I guess it's kind of a pain tolerance thing in the end as it seems rest is the only thing to make it stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigScore1 can fill you in on that one. Have to go with Colston this week i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else has had problems with plantar facitis? I seem to remember it sidelining a couple of players for several games, but I can't think of who it was.

I think he'll be fine and has a history of playing through injury. They should be fine without him this week. I would prefer to see him healthy for the remaining games.

Plantar fasciitis dogged Pujols all through 2004, but the Cardinals' medical staff treatment (and his pain threshold) allowed him to produce at a high level.

Raider.Nation Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) SO, is Chris Henry worth starting as a no3 this week than?!? Edited September 17, 2006 by Raider.Nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 SO, is Chris Henry worth starting as a no3 this week than?!? I'm wondering the same thing? Chad Johnson claims Bodden, the CB covering him tomorrow is the best in the league. Could that mean good opportunity for Henry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that mean good opportunity for Henry? Chad Johnson claimed he was the best DB he played last year, Winslow said Bodden is the best in the league. Chad also said that he was open the whole game, it was just how the game went that he didn't get passes but he was open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
