Original reports said 2-5, but he was listed as doubtful this week. My inside source (I think it was CBS Sportsline) now says he's definitely out this week, but could easily be back for Oakland next Sunday.

Maybe white guys dont have hamstrings!

Dude, I'm trying to verify a rumor. I didn't say I had a source... I said I heard he may be back in a week. Usually some overly enthusiastic shark pooler will be first to report such rumors so I assumed it was already leaked on here.I guess not. Shark poolers are slacking today.

Cardinals :: WR, OL
WR Fitzgerald Improving, C Leckey To Start?
Darren Urban, East Valley Tribune - [Full Article]
WR Larry Fitzgerald will not play this week, but was noticeably walking better yesterday and HC Dennis Green hopes Fitzgerald will only miss a week or two. Reserve C Nick Leckey could get his first start this season in place of struggling Alex Stepanovich. The Cardinals face the leagues third best defense in the Chicago Bears, featuring DTs Tommie Harris and Tank Johnson.

It's possible. I had a severe pull back in HS (I heard/felt the "pop" he's talking about) and it was frigging excruciating at first, but I was only out one week and was back the following game. It still gets sore every now and again, though, and that was almost 20 years ago.jafo said:

You need hamstrings to jump, too.
I was involved in an industrial accident that turned my skin white. I was rushed to the ER where my hamstrings and calf muscles were removed in order to match my skin. It was touch and go but I made it. I now make TPS reports and can't dance.

Posted this is the other Fitz thread:Anyone remember Edge in 2004? He suffered a slight hamstring tear in week 2 against Tennessee, and played in week 3 against the Packers and went 21 for 62 and a TD and didnt miss a game the rest of the year. Finished with 1500+yds and 9tds.Not saying Fitz has the exact same injury, but James has dealt with the same type of thing and came back fine quickly. So we know it CAN happen with no ill effects.That said, whenever he comes back, Im keeping him reserved until I see he is at or close to 100%.

Good posting. I remember when Edge got hurt that year and then he was back like nothing ever happened. It is possible Fitz could come back, but the cases for a quick hammy recovery seem to be few and far in between. Perhaps this could be one of those times.

Sounds suspicious. Fitz will miss the Bears and come back in time for Oak, GB and the bye.

In all seriousness, what is the ETA for Fitz return from his hammy. I picked up B.Johnson, but won't play him against the Bears. If he's only a one week filler, I'd rather drop him for another FA pickup. But if Fitz's injury lingers, B.johnson will looks promising @Oak and @GB.

Do you really think that anyone here is able to answer that question?

I really wonder as to the extent and degree of his injury? Sometimes things can look not so good and then everything turns out okay. Other times it looks minor and turns out a lot worse.
I don't know. I wonder to what extent this hamstring injury is for Larry Fitzgerald. Yes, you always wonder about lingering going on too.
We shall see

totally agree.Doesn't change my thoughts. B Johnson is available and I will blow it all out to get him:
\1-If Fitz is gone a while Johnson is very valuable
2-If Fitz comes back completely healty, Johnson still has solid bye week value
3-If Fitz comes back and is not 100%, Johnson has value
Looks like Johnson has value...

reported 2-5.... your hoping 2 and in all reality it will be safe to possibly put him in your lineup in about 8 wks. There you have it! When a hamstring pops, that's that my friend. Torn, atrophy will succeed and its a battle to get back to full strength.
Yeah, but Fitz is no Evilgrin.

I heard 2-5 then i heard 1-3..but regardless this is s great week to miss him. not the best matchup against the bears. I guess it is better than me loosing Alexander against the Rams..

2-5 weeks seems to be the feeling. Plan for 5 and hope for less
It will be at MOST three week (6, 7, and 8). They have a bye in week 9, so the latest you will see him (unless he reinjures it) will be Week 10 when the Cowboys are at Arizona.
There have been some local stories about him showing up at practice and not looking as bad walking around and maybe returning earlier, but until there is something official, that is just speculation.

Week 10

Sounds about right. Regarding those speculations, it looks like I'll have to wait to see what happens during next week's practices before determining what to do with Br.Johnson on my roster.Thumper said:

Anything new on Fitz this week?
Denny Green said 2-5 weeks when he injured it...

This was the last thing I found...
Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI)
The MRI done on his right hamstring revealed a grade 2 strain. In sports medicine circles, a grades two strain usually falls in the range of being out 2-6 weeks. Earlier in the week, the Cardinals placed a range between 2-5 weeks on his injury. One source in the Phoenix area believes it will be around four weeks. This means we aren't likely to see him back in the Arizona lineup before week nine. As this column is being prepared, the official NFL report has him listed as doubtful. This could mean two things.
First, after getting treatment for a couple of days, Fitzgerald has more mobility and flexibility in his hamstring and it's not as severe as first thought. On the other hand, the Cardinals maybe playing NFL injury report games and he's gone for a while no matter what the 'official' report says. Here's my opinion. When a player says he felt and heard a pop, combined with an MRI that shows a grade two strain, he'll miss at least two weeks, most likely, even more time than that. Here is the dilemma for Fitzgerald owners. Let's say he does miss three-four weeks. He won't be close to 100% healthy when he returns and that includes the remainder of the season, thus reducing his production when he does come back.

With the bye next week (4th wk since injury), the earliest he could come back is still wk 10. It doesn't specifically say he has had any set backs. I seem to remember guys (like Smith) with hammy issues that were getting pretty negative press about thier recovery until they actually played. Call it wishful thinking, but I'd only be worried if they adjusted his timetable to, say, 8-10 weeks.

Receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) was taking part in some light run-throughs with the offense early in practice, but it was without his helmet and he will almost certainly skip the Green Bay game.
Is skipping easier on a hammy than running?
