gotoneros 1 Posted November 13, 2007 Has anyone got any info on KJ and this foot injury?? Is Duckett a WW pick this week for spot starter?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted November 14, 2007 I picked him up last week as insurance since I did not have Chatman when Brown was injured and did not have Priest when LJ was injured. I am a little gunshy right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vardaski 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Last thing I read was his foot was "just sore". Worried a little but not a lot but I don't have room for Duckett and at least I've got better back ups. I would say if it comes down to Duckett as your best option then your waiver wire must be very thin. Duckett isn't the right type of back for the Lion's system so he might vulture a TD if Jones as hurt but his stats will not resemble anything like KJ stats.

vammp 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Jones could be out this week. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6789/news Nov 13 The Lions are considered holding Jones (foot) out of Sunday's game against the Giants in order to preserve him for the Thanksgiving Day contest against the Packers, MLive.com reports. Recommendation: Jones has needed four or five days to let his foot fully recover after each game, and it complicates matters further that he had to leave Sunday's loss to Arizona twice because of soreness in his surgically-repaired left foot. With the Thanksgiving Day game, he'd be very doubtful to play next Thursday against Green Bay in the wake of a Sunday contest against the Giants. We'll see if this is something the Lions plan on following through with leading into Sunday, but Jones owners may want to scoop T.J. Duckett up off the waiver wire just to hedge their bets for the next two games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoneros 1 Posted November 14, 2007 Tx for the link - I grabbed TJ off WW just in case. Sounds like a reinjury - feets take time to heal... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoBucky1 2 Posted November 14, 2007 Wonderful, so now in the last 3 weeks I have lost Henry, LJ, ADP, and now Jones. What a great year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,556 Posted November 14, 2007 I think they should shut him down for the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest _my_2_cents_ Posted November 14, 2007 And that ladies & gentlemen is why this particular injury is often described as "career threatening". No matter how miraculous the progress sounds (and in KJ's case he is back way earlier than I expected) there's always the wear & tear during the season and the injury flares up.

Bently 0 Posted November 14, 2007 This is not news. It is simply logic. Jones plays well when he plays, but he requires about 4 days to recover. Playing this Sunday would give him only 4 days until the next gameday (because it is on Thurday), and thus no practice time due to recovery. Therefore, do not play him. This is a unique situation because of the Thanksgiving timetable, it does not reflect some "re-injury". He is always sore after games in that foot, and will continue to be for a while. That is all.

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted November 14, 2007 Duckett has shown that he cannot carry the rock 20 times a game. Perhaps Bell comes back on the radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, but you are incorrect. It's been reported that it's been getting progressively worse, and that all year he's been sore for 3-4 days following games, but this game he LEFT THE GAME because of the pain. The Detroit News reports Jones is starting to show the effects of wear and tear on an injury to his left foot that forced him to miss the first two weeks. "There is no structural damage," Lions coach Rod Marinelli said of Jones' foot. So while your logic is sound, it's also based in pure fiction. It is news, the injury IS getting worse, it is not "all" and you're pretty much incorrect here - his foot is getting worse and he will likely miss this week's game. Duckett is a better add than TBell IMO, because Bell already got into the doghouse, and even if it becomes a RBBC Duckett will be in at the stripe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maestrobe 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Per Rotoworld: Kevin Jones-RB-Lions Nov. 14 - 6:00 pm et Kevin Jones is not on the Lions' Week 11 injury report. Head coach Rod Marinelli said on Monday that Jones was experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired foot, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. Jones is a fine RB2/flex play against the Giants in Week 11. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...NFL&id=2659 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotoworld = the suck I'd keep checking back for news on KJ all the way up to game time. He was awful last week and left the game early due to the injury. That's telling. If the Lions see themselves as a playoff team, they may rest him as a precaution. I won't be surprised at all if KJ is on the sidelines for this Sunday's game.

I won't be surprised at all if KJ is on the sidelines for this Sunday's game. The extent and implications of KJ's foot soreness has been the subject of speculation by many. His failure to show up on the injury report at all, though, says worlds. If you look further down the link on my post, you'll see that Marinelli said earlier in the week that the soreness was nothing out of the ordinary. But you may be right. As many have pointed out, the Lions have two key games in the span of four days next week, the second against a division rival. There's reason to think that KJ will get less playing time this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vardaski 0 Posted November 15, 2007 both games are important though because the Giants are competition for the wildcard if they can't catch Green bay. I think they play him in both contests but he may sit out series like he did in the last. Definitely doesn't make me start him with confidence this week.

There's reason to think that KJ will get less playing time this weekend. Which is why I dropped Duckett and picked up the A-Train. I figure that it is more likely that they will have him play this week and determine if he is going to have an impact. If they need him to win the game, then they will use him. If not, they will sit him more often (like they did last week). Hopefully, they choose the right option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seadog54 20 Posted November 15, 2007 Lions coach Rod Marinelli shrugged off questions about the status of Kevin Jones' foot, saying he was "85 percent" sure he'd play vs. the Giants in Week 11. Jones left the Lions' Week 10 game at Arizona twice with soreness, and the potential problem of running Jones twice in five days when the Lions host the Giants on Sunday and the Packers on Thanksgiving in Week 12. "I want to see where he's at as the week goes on, but I kind of feel he's going to be okay," Marinelli said. "That's my gut feeling right now." -CBS Sportsline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
