Any Updates Adam Vinatieri (1 Viewer)

[UFO]

I know he is only a kicker but would like to know if I should be burning another roster spot on a 2nd kicker.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

It is unofficial, but he is probably out at least Week 1.

Any guess on when he'll return?

Here is the "unofficial" story.

Adam Vinatieri - Unofficial Injury

Now, I understand if you question the report. I do NOT question my source. I stand by that original post, and have seen nothing to alter that position. I've recently talked to that source once again and his availability is HIGHLY in doubt for Week 1. Odds are he is out 1-2 weeks into the season.

That's the best info I can give you. This is a source with information - nothing official from the team - so take it all under advisement.

Footballguys on this messageboard want information, but credible information. They also want stuff right away. I understand both points, so take this information at face value and plan accordingly.

Draft Vinatieri if you like, but I STRONGLY suggest having a backup plan at a bare minimum.

Correct me if I am wrong, but until week 1 is here, they don't have to officially talk about injuries and clarify them as questionable, doubtful, out, etc during the preseason.

i'm not talking about whether they are obligated to disclose, i'm wondering why they would keep this from their own media without a reason. beat reporters tend to remember a lot.

This is the same anonymous source that said he had a broken heel and was out 4-6 weeks.

Dungy, said "day to day for a few days" and a recent report said he'd resumed running.

I haven't seen that report, but would like to.As for why Indy would not disclose this, I've wondered that myself. They have a 2nd K, so I'm not sure why they aren't fully disclosing this story.

They actually had cut their second kicker the day he got hurt, and then brought him back to handle the kicking duties for preseason.I think both things I referenced were from the Indy Star-Tribune. The "day to day" quote was from the 22nd. As to why they aren't fully disclosing, my guess is because there is no story to disclose. He sprained his ankle running. Big deal.From Fox:

News: NFL Network's Adam Shefter confirmed that Adam Vinatieri will miss the rest of training camp.Impact: His ankle injury will keep him out roughly a month, but the Colts are confident he'll be ready for Week 1. (Wed. Aug 23, 2006)
