J.R. Reed injured jumping fence, out indefinitely

What in the world was he doing jumping over a fence?

Hopefully he can recover fully and resume his career.

That is so sad, so hard to beleive. Can you imagine what going through his head?

Get Roscoe?

Or Sproles.

I just watched highlights from the first three games of the season last night and JR had some amazing returns. This is garbage.

Also, check out this grammatical gem from Spads.

A non-football-related injury has him recovering from a nasty injury.

jeebus...that sucks.

Wingspan · March 10, 2005, 01:25:17 PM

last years draft class looks to be cursed....

Shawn Andrews - broken leg
Matt Ware
J.R. Reed - career threating injury
Trey Darilek
Thomas Tapeh - career threating injury
Andy Hall - glug glug glug
Dexter Wynn
Adrien Clarke - IR last season
Bruce Perry - IR last season (i think)
Dominic Furio - IR last season

Get well soon JR.

I can't believe how upset you're getting over this. He's a backup.

mussa · March 10, 2005, 01:42:20 PM

Im pissed cause JR seemed to have a great future ahead of him, now it could be over.

Latest from Spads:

QuoteI'm not a doctor. I don't think it looks good, however. That is a critical nerve to control the foot and ankle area, I believe. I think Coach Reid said it all in his statement.

MURP · March 10, 2005, 01:55:32 PM

I dont think using Ware at backup safety is the best use of his skills or the best way to get him on the field. It's easier to find a backup safety (a dime a dozen really) than it is to find a decent CB. Now if Ware ends up sucking at CB it's a different story. IMO.

Tapeh, from every account so far, will be back in time for camp. It wasn't as serious as initially thought, remember?

And Andrews' injury was a clean break, he'll be back at full strength as well.

Don't forget, the draft class before with McDougle and Green's injuries so early.

Rome · March 10, 2005, 02:38:10 PM

His initial returns were electrifying.

If this turns out to be career threatening, it would really suck for him and the Eagles.

Get well soon, J.R.

Ye Gods. Y'all wanna start talking about curses let's talk about the safety curse that seems to be happening! Seriously, Reed is the third safety in recent years to have a career-threatening knee injury-Rashard Cook and Damon Moore are the other two and when we drafted them we had high expectations for the both of them. Throw in Blaine "Slow School" Bishop (who said he was playing through injury that season), the injuries that Mikell had last season and the almighty Dawkins himself being brought low by a Lis Franc sprain and we're talking epidemic, people!
