Those are never good. Maybe if Hackett is out next week, Branch might actually get a touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ugh. High ankle sprains... they can be a bother all season and can keep players off the field for 2-4 weeks often, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobller Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 Yeah, high ankle sprains are pesty and can take at least a month or longer to recover from... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 crap. He's the only guy i have in all of my leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The play happened right in front of me. It was one of those really scary stupid little injuries where you saw the hit happen and thought nothing of it and then the guy never plays another down. He must have tweaked something pretty good to not come back from such a minor hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobller Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) Did you see the shot on Cad??? would have loved to have seen that in person! Doesn't do it justice on T.V. Not to mention the blow to Garcia... Those boys were playing RUFF! Edited September 10, 2007 by gobller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I didn't see the hit, but there are varying degrees of high ankle sprains. The best case scenario is out two weeks. The worst is 6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 When did the injury occur? Was he being targeted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'm hearing the Hackett injury is not season-ending, but could be lengthy. Who is the best guy to grab then? Nate Burleson or Bobby Engram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Bobby Engram should consistently get 4-5 catches. This will put Burleson into the starting lineup, but he hasn't shown any signs of consistency in the last few years, so I am still shying away from him. He may be worth a desperate pickup in very deep leagues, but will be too inconsistent for me to start at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be worth a desperate pickup in very deep leagues, but will be too inconsistent for me to start at any time. Also means, courtney Taylor or Ben Obamanu will proably be activated for next week. Holmgren said that when DJ went out they were unable to run any of their 4 WR sets. that said, Taylor and Obamanu will be no fantasy value, but might take a catch our two from the rest on those quad sets.

nhoops Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Can anybody help a brother out wit dis? Early in 1st Q from what I remember from when he had the catch to reports of him being out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonehand Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Can anybody help a brother out wit dis? Hass threw to him twice, missed the first and he got hurt on the second, his only catch. Burleson and Engram were also present early though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Chicken Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 KIRKLAND, Wash. -- D.J. Hackett, who had just moved into the Seattle Seahawks' starting lineup at wide receiver, is out indefinitely with a sprained ankle. Hackett, an inactive player on game days a year ago, played just one quarter in his new role opposite flanker Deion Branch before he got hurt in Sunday's 20-6 win over Tampa Bay. At the end of Hackett's only reception, a 7-yard gain in the first quarter, his foot was caught in the turf while trying to pivot as he was hit by Brian Kelly. He did not return to the game. Seattle Seahawks * Complete coverage: Video | Schedule | Stats * Roster | Depth chart | Transactions * Official team site: Seahawks.com "He's going to be down for a while. I can't tell you for how long. Those things are very unpredictable," coach Mike Holmgren said Monday. Holmgren said Hackett's injury is a "high" ankle sprain, not the traditional sprain in which the ankle joint is turned nearer the foot. The high sprain includes ligaments near the shin. "This typically is longer (than a week). And in some instances it can be very, very long," Holmgren said. "The doctors can't really tell me right now." But Holmgren added, "Fortunately, our depth I think is very good at wide receiver ... I think we'll be OK there." Veteran Bobby Engram, used mostly as a third, slot receiver, may become even more prominent after catching three passes for 64 yards against the Buccaneers. Ben Obomanu missed the opener with a hamstring injury, but Holmgren thinks the seventh-round draft choice from Auburn in 2006 will play Sunday at Arizona. Rookie Courtney Taylor, also from Auburn, was inactive against the Bucs but could be available for the Cardinals game. "And my ace in the whole is Seneca Wallace," Holmgren said, almost as a tease. The Seahawks have used Wallace, Matt Hasselbeck's backup quarterback, sporadically at wide receiver, most notably for catches in each of the last two postseasons. But Holmgren said the team would have to sign a third, veteran quarterback to the roster before he will risk Wallace to injury as a receiver. "Yeah, we're still looking," said Holmgren, who is entering a season with just two quarterbacks for the first time in his 16 years as an NFL head coach. "We know most of the quarterbacks (who are available)." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
