Adrian Peterson collarbone re-injured (1 Viewer)

I'm all for this rumour. Even if it is slightly true and it effects his draft spot and he slips. The Bills organization and Ralph Wilson are not new to taking on risks with injured RB's. They drafted McGahee when people thought they shouldn't. And now I hope they somehow land the best RB in the draft because people are a little worried about this injury stuff.

Marv Levy rules. If the Vikings don't get AP, I hope the Bills do.

Can't see the Texans passing on him but you never know I guess.

Andy, do you really think the Vikings would draft Peterson? What if Quinn and/or Russell are on the board?

Yes I really do. Hard to say what would happen if Quinn were available. They've been adamant about Tarvaris Jackson being the guy. But Quinn would be awfully enticing. If I had to bet on the choice between AP and Quinn, I'd put money on AP.I'd be with either one.

It now appears that Joe Thomas is not fishing with his dad, but is actually on the lamb. Before the weekend, the FBI is going to release a warrant for Joe Thomas in relation to the string of homicides known as "the Zodiac" killings. This could seriously damage his draft status; expect Thomas to fall out of the top 10.

Thanks, that means alot to me and I'm not even joking. If the Bills get ADP I think I might pee in my pants a little when I hear it announced.

April 27, 2007NORMAN - According to NFL sources, Adrian Peterson suffers from chronic kidney and bladder problems that may affect his draft status . . .

We draft rookies for production one year after their drafted, if they perform the first year it's just icing on the cake.

If this BS report allows Peterson to fall to the Texans, it'll be the steal of the draft.

The last few days before the draft are always fun.We're through the looking glass here people.Some of what we are hearing is true. Some isn't. I can't really say how to tell the difference.

I'm awaiting the rumors to start about Calvin Johnson's Siamese twin.

Is the twin listed as a TE at Yahoo?

Savage not bothered by Peterson's injury

Browns general manager Phil Savage said in an e-mail response today that Adrian Peterson's re-injury of his broken collarbone in the Fiesta Bowl "has not affected our opinion of him for the draft."

He also said that the Browns feel Peterson is healing well "and we would not do the surgery as it stands today."

Peterson, the Oklahoma running back, is one of five players the Browns are considering with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.

Peterson's agent, Ben Dogra, confirmed a report on SI.com Thursday that Peterson did re-injure his broken collarbone during the Fiesta Bowl -- but that even if a team determines he does require surgery, he'll be ready for training camp in July.

"All 32 teams have known about this since the Combine (in late February)," said Dogra. "The significant thing is that Adrian went back for a re-check on March 30 and 31st and doctors said he was healing and doing remarkably well."

Dogra said it will be up to the team that drafts him to decide whether or not to "plate" the injury, or have a metal plate inserted in the collarbone to stabilize it.

"It's not a foregone conclusion that he'll need the surgery," said Dogra. "It's only if their doctor thinks he requires it. That's why it hasn't happened yet. If they do plate it, doctors have assured us that he'll have only 4-6 weeks of down time, meaning that if he has it in May, he'll be back in time for camp."

Dogra said some teams have told him that they would probably let it heal on its own since its doing so well. "I have not heard from the Browns as to what they would do," said Dogra. "But one way or the other, he'll be ready for the season."

Dogra said he does not expect the collarbone to affect Peterson's draft status. "I'm still confident he'll be among the top picks," said Dogra. "It's an upper-body injury, which is not as serious for a running back as a leg injury."

Peterson first broke the collarbone diving into the end zone in week 6 against Iowa State. He missed the rest of the regular season and returned for the Fiesta Bowl.

This report is not BS.http://www.aolsportsblog.com/2007/04/25/ad...-training-camp/

They are now saying he will be out until training camp,

possibly longer. FF owners who don't take this news seriously

may be burned in the end and end up overpaying for Peterson.

The report above says that it is healing properly and most likely won't require surgery. It also says that it won't affect his draft status, and he will be fine for training camp and for the season. Any fantasy owner that lets a report like this influence them may get burned all right, but it won't be the owner that takes Peterson.Even if he misses some of training camp, it shouldn't affect his potential or value in either a redraft or dynasty draft.

I still think he'll be the #1 rookie pick,but I also think it would be wise to consider

dealing him to anyone who is willing to pay a steep price.

I just don't see him holding up physically to the weekly pounding in the NFL.

 

[Sidewinder]

Flashback to March 2006 - the Miami docs were much less concerned about Culpepper's knee than Brees' shoulder.

 

[Routilla]

Sounds like a risky pick for where you would have to take AP to get him. I'll pass, let someone else wonder how long he can last before re-injuring it.

i'm charles rogers, i gothow did that commercial go?

68 catches and 13 touchdowns!!!!!

incorrect sir...excerpton Banks of SI.com reports that Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson's collarbone injury -- which caused him to miss much of last season and which he re-aggravated in the Fiesta Bowl -- could require additional surgery that would sideline him for at least the start of training camp and possibly longer.

 

[wickster33]

if I had the number 2 rookie pick, I'd be sure to copy this article and bring it to the draft.

There is no such thing as an injury prone back. Every one of them takes a pounding and can get injured at any time. If you don't want AD because of his injury history, you probably shouldn't draft any running backs.

I don't know, but Calvin had better figure out how to line up one yard behind him or else he's going to get called for illegal formation every time.

[Donnybrook]

The speculation really needs to stop here. Check it:

(1) Teams have already known about this for a couple of months. It says directly in that article that he disclosed the re-injury, or whatever it is, at the combine. If teams were concerned we would have been hearing plenty about it -- not just 2 days before the draft.

(2) Its not a huge concern as he did all of the drills at the Combine. If you think you can go through the combine with a major injury to your collarbone, you're kidding yourself. Collarbone injuries slow sedentary people down; you think he could absolutely tear up the combine? The point here is that he was almost fully recovered at this time.

(3) So, you think that he could do the combine, but feel hes going to be an injury concern. according to many websites (ie, http://www.shouldersolutions.com/ac_4.php) it can take an adult up to 4 months for it to heal. If he reinjured it completely at the fiesta bowl , and needed a full 4 months to recover (highly unlikely) , he would be fine for April 1st. He has until July to make camp. I think he'll be fine.

Also, Collarbone injuries aren't ones that will typically be re-injured. How many guys do you hear in the NFL that broke their collarbone? He simply won't have enough stress on it to hurt it again, even if it was a chronic problem (which it certainly is not).

His upright style won't add to this injury problem either; it *could*, if anything, add to injuries such as bruised ribs, knee ligament problems, etc.

:Charles Rogers down:?

Rogers showed great poise as he caught 22 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns during his first five games of the 2003 season, before breaking his collarbone while practicing a speed drill with Dré Bly. He was out for the season. He was expected to come back and have a great season. However, in the third play of the 2004 regular season, Rogers suffered another broken collarbone, and was once again out for the season.

IIRC, Charles Rogers second break was on the opposite side of his body. It wasn't the injuries that ended Rogers career. It was what Charles was doing while he was injuried.

Mort on ESPN this morning said his collarbone is fine and will not need surgery.

As I said earlier, I would also select Peterson with the #1 pick,but I would also float him on the open market to see if someonewill overpay, if so I would deal him.

So you would still take Peterson and try to shop him? Why? If you were going to do that before this report, then continue with your plan. But if you are making that decision based on this "new" information, then I think you are making a grave mistake. Not only should he still be the first player taken, but this also doesn't change his value at all IMO. If anything, certain owners will be able to get him cheaper due to those who are more afraid of his tendency to get injured (which is exactly what you are saying would happen if you chose him).
