Preliminary word is an ankle sprain. One would assume it's fairly serious considering that he was carted off the field. In the quote posted in the weekly injury thread (which seemed to be post x-ray), it mentioned nothing of a break, strictly a sprain. There is nothing but speculation as to the amount of time he'll miss, but my guess is that it'll be a month before he's at 100%.And yes, he has value next year. :resistsrolleyes:
Nobody freaking cares. Is it just me or has the number of these kind of posts increased exponentially over the course of the season?
Everyone Should care... This place used to have Family Feel... But JackA like you are changing that quickly.
My roster includes McNabb, Portis, Farve, Reggie Brown and Driver.
It was a tough week for injuries. One team in my league had McNabb and Jones..I had to snicker a bit.
Harris will be the guy.
Pinner, IRRC, is in Minnesota.Calhoun is on IR as is Shawn Bryson. It's the Arlen Harris show, barring a free agent signing.
Pinner is on the Vikings. If Jones misses any time, I assume Harris will get most of the work, with Aveion Cason spelling him. If I recall correctly, Harris did have a couple of really good games with the Rams back when he filled in for Faulk. I also wonder something about high ankle sprains: do they usually know right away the kind of sprain it is? The thing I though of was when they were wrapping his ankle, no ice, as if he was going to try to play. Does that normally happen with high ankle sprains? I have yet to hear anything official about his injury.
Were those radio reports debunked? I know the people saying "out for season" were joking, but didnt others have prelim. reports via radio that it was high-ankle?
Yesterday, Marinelli said he did not know if it was a high sprain. That's the closest to an official report as I have heard up to this point.
I for one find enjoyment reading about the trials of others and it often gives me a sense of going through the valley together. I don't see the harm in sharing your team frustration, but I do seem harm in this assault on these type of posts by smart alics like tribecalledjeff, who seems to head this team of board assasins. Must not be much fun to live in his world.
Another McNabb/Jones owner here. There seem to be a lot of us. So, tribecalledjeff, somebody freaking cares (if only because misery loves company).
in that case, you'll be happy to know that in my redraft league, i lost McNabb and Colston. traded Kitna 2 weeks ago for Tony G, who is also hurt. in my keeper, i lost KJones and Colston.both are big money leagues. i was one of the strongest teams in each. so, if you like that kind of post, then take solace in knowing that i'm hating life.
Honestly this is debatable. This thread is a great idea but if 75% of the total posts are "oh whoa is me i've got jones what am i gonna do" the thread becomes diluted and basically useless (and I'm not saying this is there now).One or two posts is fine, but if the thread turns into a whining/self-pity discussion it becomes increasingly difficult to find the good info that you need.The venting thread was created if you want to discuss your team's injury problems.Back to the news, I haven't heard anything new, and it certainly looks like it'll be Harris on 1st and 2nd downs and possibly Cason in on 3rds. Neither will be very involved in passing game, which means two things to me:(1) Neither will be that great of a fill-in with the rough matchups the Lions have.(2) This impacts Kitna and possibly Roy negatively IMO as he doesn't have a dump off anymore.
A good example of why you should not draft key players from the same team (minus Portis, of course). That is bad luck.Rusty Syringes said:My roster includes McNabb, Portis, Farve, Reggie Brown and Driver.tietzjd said:

Joe B. reported that it looks as if Harris will be the man; he did get the red zone looks (link to game log).I don't know about Cason but I'd differ with you on your opinion that Harris failed miserably backing up Faulk. IIRC Harris was the third stringer the years he got playing time and he got 3 starts with the Rams under Martz and had one great game, on average game, and one very poor game. In PPR leages his PPG average in his 3 starts was 17.7. He also had another game were he came on in relief early and ran for 85 yards and a TD. KJ was running like a beast and he's going to be sorely missed by a few of my teams but IF Harris is really the man he's a solid RB-2 IMO in PPR leagues and solid RB-3, flex player in non PPR leagues.
Good catch. Rams were w/o a FB and Martz wanted to get Harris on the field. Listed at 212 on DET website.
Did they announce anything yet. I think many are jumping the gun. I believe that he may be out Thurs. due to short week, but man people are jumping the gun with Harris and Cason. Wow! Unless I am missing something I have not seen anything to say KJ has anything other than an injury that caused him to miss most of yesterdays game. He did go off the field under his own power, which is good.
Those stats mean nothing. He was the third stringer most of the time, what kind of stats was he suppossed to put up sitting on the bench?The only stats that matter is what did he do when he got the chance to play and when he's got the chance he's played well. As for goal line work, he's carried the ball more than 10 times in a game 5 times and has 5 TD's in those games including a goal line TD yesterday.
No nothing has been announced yet but even the most optimistic KJ owner can't really think he's coming back on 3 days rest. Can you? His loss yesterday hurt me bad for the week and maybe my season and at this point I'd be tickled to death if he came back relatively healthy for week 13. But I did back him up with Harris in every league I own him and feel like Harris is going to be good for some solid production in the meantime.
We'll just have to agree to disagree here
The stats do matter - that's his body of work, and FF value is measured by stats. Harris has only had two games in his career - one of them yesterday - where he's averaged 4+ ypc. He's had 10+ touches only 7 times. He's never had a 100 yard game. If he produced more consistently he wouldn't have been on the bench. He does get goal line work which helps his value, as I indicated in earlier posts. He is capable of catching the ball out of the backfield, which is a bump for him in PPR.
We're inferring that since (a) he didn't come back into the game, (b) he was carted back to the locker room, © they play again in 3 days, (d) harris got 10 carries to cason's 4 and (e) Harris got the GL work that Harris is KJ's primary backup and KJ won't be playing Thursday.
he got hurt on i think lions 2nd drive, 3rd or fourth play, went to the sidelines, taped his foot, got carted off the sidelinesi watched the game, and as a KJ owner, Im not too sure if i'll be seeing him play come thanksgiving
Sorry it has not had that feel since the FFA was seperated from the Shark Pool.tietzjd said:
Thinking the same thing. Even saw on www.detroitlions.com they updated the "blog" section today with quotes from Marinelli were he went into great detail talking about Shaun Rodgers immiment return but no mention was made of KJ or the offense at all for that matter. I"m assuming KJ's out this week but I'm just wanting some good news about a week 13 return.
Probably because it doesn't involve Reggie Bush.
Yahoo has just confirmed information that KJ will be doubtful for week 12 against the Dolphins. KJ owners, I would hop on Arlin Harris ASAP.
I'm not necessarily looking for info on his status for this week. I want to know if he will be out for an extended period of time (like the rest of the season), or if this is something that he most likely will miss or game or maybe two from. I can live with having him out for a game or so, but if it's much more than that I need to start making roster moves to prepare for the playoffs.
Please check the member numbers before telling me what this place "used to be" like.Also, see the venting thread made specifically for, shockingly, venting.
Aside from this silliness, as someone who watched every DET preseason game, I can say that Harris looked pretty damned good. I was shocked they cut him and he didn't see more time. I think he'll be a capable fill in.
Get your ### back out there!
