Gros Membres! Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Shaun Alexander might still have a broken foot, something he doesn't want confirmed just yet. Alexander The Seattle Seahawks' star running back said Monday his left foot, broken for the final four months of last season, may still be cracked as he begins the 2007 preseason. The 2005 NFL MVP doesn't want to know for sure until after his team's veteran minicamp ends Thursday. "I don't even want to get another X-ray until after this camp," a smiling Alexander said after his fourth consecutive day of occasionally carrying the ball during no-contact, no-pads drills. "If the X-ray shows it's still cracked, it's like, 'OK. What does that mean?'" Last winter, it meant team doctors finally clearing him to play because they deemed remote the risk of completely breaking through a crack in the fourth metatarsal. He sat out seven weeks because of an injury that began as a severe bruise sustained when a Detroit Lions tackler fell on it during the season opener. In his second game back, Alexander plowed through the snow for 201 yards on a Seattle-record 40 carries against Green Bay. He averaged 112 yards per game over the final six weeks of the regular season, and finished the year with 896 yards rushing and seven touchdowns in 10 games.

This pretty much sums up the extent of SA's supposed lingering injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggsy Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 even if there is a lingering problem, they just won't give him any playing time in preseason games, which would give it another 3 1/2 months to heal....he'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Might be a good time to float a questionable offer over to the SA owner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Note to my ConFusion mates: Questionable offers will be snickered at. Note the same to Dynasty Wars II owners, but add you may receive equally questionable totally legit offers in return.

MikesVikes Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I call bs on all of these bones that just don't heal like in the old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The only reason for this statement is so Shaun can have an excuse when he gives a lackluster effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I heard bits and pieces of an interview with some reporter from SEA (Clare something-er-other ... Farnsworth?) and he said this was unaldulterated crapola. Nothing wrong with SA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
