Osi Umenyiora (1 Viewer)

[spacepimp]

I believe his wife is or has given birth to their child and that he missed Thursday because of it...any chance he misses the game for any reason?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

I haven't heard that he is missing the game, so check Sunday morning.

Thanks for the heads up on his situation.

Starting DE Osi Umenyiora returned to the team after missing yesterday’s practice to attend the birth of his son, 
Tijani, who weighed in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces.

Is it too early in his career to label him injury prone ???????

For his wife giving birth?It's like labelling someone a "guy doesn't show up to work because he doesn't care" because he goes to family funerals.

ehm.....

Giants DE Osi Umenyiora went to the locker room and got x-rays, which were negative, on his leg in the first quarter on Sunday.

Umenyiora walked off the field under his own power, but more tests are expected tomorrow. Losing Umenyiora would be a huge blow to the Giants' already banged-up defense.

Obviously you didn't watch the Sunday Night game then??

The news isn’t much better for defensive tackle Osi Umenyiora, who left in the first quarter with a knee injury of his own. Although he left under his own power, his injury appears to be more serious than Jacobs. And while no one is saying it yet, it could be a season-ender. He will also have an MRI today.

Umenyiora, who suffered a hip flexor injury here last year, will also undergo tests on an injury that appeared to be serious. - per Mike Garafolo

is this guy made of crystal ??????

Nope, DVR'ed it all to watch later. I guess he is injury prone. I thought this was related to the birth thing - hence my confusion -

With Strahan not being 100% and Tuck prolly being on the field a ton more how much would this bump up Tuck?

OUT 2 MONTHS



The Newark Star-Ledger reports Giants DE Osi Umenyiora will miss two months with a knee injury.

The Giants have only called the injury "a knee," without labeling it a sprain or ligament tear, but Umenyiora is believed to have torn his MCL. The Giants went 2-4 with Osi out of the lineup in 2006. Michael Strahan will likely now start full time at left defensive end, with Justin Tuck kicking to the right side.

you gotta be kidding..........

I grabbed him in a few leagues already because I love the guy and Strahan as a question mark. People talk about him here the way they talked about Osi before he broke out. He's a tough guy and plays strong at the point of attack and gets some good pressure (plays some DT as well previously given the talent at DE).As long as Tuck is in the starting lineup, I think he's going to put up good stats.

Injury Update: Here are the results of this afternoon's MRIs on quarterback Eli Manning, defensive end Osi Umenyiora and running back Brandon Jacobs. Manning has a contusion to the right A-C joint. His status is day to day for this week's game against Green Bay. Umenyiora has an irritation to the lateral meniscus of his left knee. His status is also day to day and he will be re-evaluated later in the week. Jacobs sprained the MCL of his right knee. He will be evaluated on a week to week basis. The results of the MRI on cornerback Kevin Dockery's ankle were not available as of 5 p.m. today.

Updating a previous report, Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants DE Osi Umenyiora (knee) is only expected to miss a month, not two, because of a MCL injury, according to his agent, Tony Agnone.

 

[Lightning-in-a-Bottle]

any chance Kiwa gets moved back to DE?

 

[corpcow]

William Joseph moved to IR as well today.

It's possible Kiwi gets moved - Torbor is actually a pretty talented guy, and before Joseph went down I might have said he plays more at DE as he had in the past. Even if Kiwi doesn't move totally, he may shift to DE on passing downs with Tuck moving inside (assuming Strahan stays healthy). I still think Tuck is the big bump here and gets/stays in a starting role regardless.

thanks for the insight.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

This would be almost funny if I didn't have Osi rostered in several leagues... every report seems to say something different. D-T-D, 1 month, 2 months. I am hoping he's in the lineup for Week 2

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Defensive end Osi Umenyiora also practiced for the first time since irritating cartilage in his left knee on the Giants' first defensive series against Dallas.

``When it first happened I thought I was going to be out for a while, but it doesn't look like I am going to be out for that long right now,'' he said. ``I feel pretty well. I feel actually all right.''

Umenyiora was listed as probable for Sunday's game.

I dont think he will play, but he should be back next week.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Osi is now probable on the injury list, which is significant. He did practice today.

As I understand the new rules, the Giants could be at risk if they don't play him now with the new categorization rules for the NFL Injury Report this year.

Play? Or just have him active?What about a pregame setback?

Jeff, do you know where to find the specific changes to the NFL injury report? I googled but couldn't find them. Something similar was said in another thread, but I was under the impression that the big change was just the "participation in practice" piece. I didn't hear anything about the probable/questionable/doubtful stuff changing, and under the past rules probably meant 75% chance he plays - which obviously means 25% chance he doesn't. How can they get in trouble for that?

I struggled with a search as well.I did find this which does jive with what I remembered:

NFL Injury List for 2007

POSTED 9:42 p.m. EDT, May 9, 2007

NFL CHANGES INJURY REPORTING

The revised NFL media policy, mentioned below, also contains significant

changes to the procedure for reporting injuries.

The league will now require teams to include in their Wednesday, Thursday,

and Friday disclosures identification of whether the player did not

participate in practice, had limited participation in practice, or fully

participated in practice.

This disclosure will be in addition to the categories of "out," "doubtful,"

"questionable," and "probable."

And because "probable" means that there is a virtual certainty that the

player will be available for normal duty, the failure of a player who is

listed as probable to play on Sunday will be regarded as a violation of the

revised policy.

Though we generally agree with any effort to force the teams to be more

forthcoming regarding injuries, the league still needs (we believe) to add a

category that falls somewhere between 50-50 and "virtual certainty." Or

they need to change the term "probable" so that the casual fan will realize

that it really means "virtual certainty" or, under the new policy, "actual

certainty unless the team wants to get a knee to the groin from the league

office."

And that's really the message here. Any player listed as "probable" is

actually "certain." So every player with any type of nick or ding or bruise

or boo-boo should be listed.
