Big Score 1 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Dude has got to have one of the weakest set of ankles in the NFL. Heap is ALWAYS spraining them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Can't be much of a strain. He should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Can't be much of a strain. He should be OK. Sounds like BS to me. I mean how bad can you really sprain your ankle during stretching.... at worst they will tape it up and he should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I'm trying to confirm this but only the one guy is reporting it and he didn't even report it for his own newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 maybe he herniated his ankle disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Magnolia Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 maybe he herniated his ankle disk If he really freakin sprained an ankle while streching, I'm dropping him for Ernie Conwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerMurf Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 OK, where is the actual injury report with him on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 OK, where is the actual injury report with him on it? See - that's sort of the problem. While an injury report may be kept, the official NFL media outlet does not release any injury reports after Friday is reported because half the teams are traveling on Saturday.

RussMan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Todd Heap-TE-Ravens Sep. 23 - 11:04 pm et Todd Heap has been added to the Ravens' injury report and is listed as questionable for Week 3 with an ankle sprain. Heap reportedly injured his ankle while stretching at home, prior to Saturday's routine walk-through. It looks like he'll be a game-time decision. Check back on Sunday afternoon for Baltimore's inactives. Source: Baltimore Sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabal152 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I think he sprained it while grabbing both of his ankles... Excellent response. Damn Heap.....Ravens Browns is a friggn 4:05 game My other option Desmond Clark is going at 1:00 (I know no info will be available by decision making time) I'm already sitting at 0 and 2 I am playing the team in my league that has thus far scored the most points byyyyyyy farrrrrrr (only week 2 I keep telling myself......so just relax big guy) My QB options are McNair and Grossman. Since I am going with Clark I will take a flyer on Grossman See ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) I think he sprained it while grabbing both of his ankles...

Vicster Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well, if you have ever really sprained an ankle, and I mean to the point where you have missed serious time due to it, you'd know that everytime you do sprain the ankle, it gets easier and easier to do it again. Once the joint gets "loosened" up by you spraining it, the ligaments will not get any tighter. I've had surgery to clean up both of my ankle joints due to broken bone chips and scar tissue in them that would cause swelling whenever I walked. And when I get done with contact sports, my Doctor told me to come back and he'll cut the ligaments and reattach everything in order to tighten the joint so that I don't keep falling whenever I step wrongly on a crack in the concrete. It can be quite embarrassing rolling your ankle just walking down the street. So, I can see if you have had problems with your ankles in the past, how easy it could be to roll one while stretching.

Ruffian Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I've sprained both ankles over the years. I don't recall ever doing either of mine while taking pre-emptive steps not to strain them, however. If his ankles are so weak that stretching them causes damage, he may want to consider another line of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I am going with Clark I will take a flyer on Grossman See ya I was in the same situation.....all the other guys on the waiver wire had 1pm games. I did just pick up Daniel Graham from NE who has a 8pm game. He would most likely be out on the waiver wire, but there aren't many options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
