dockeryfan Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Pinkston's other Achilles tendon is inflamed. http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/football/15123720.htm Might not be a big deal, but there have been other players who decline once the train of achilles injuries starts. Add to the fact that his major weapon was speed and this could be a real problem for him. It's the healthy tendon that's acting up, but that's the way these things go sometimes, once you change foot mechanics. This is nothing new. We knew he had an uphill battle to come back 100%.

Hooper Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I suspect this injury will flare up again once he sees Sean Taylor across from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSkins Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 pinkston is such a *****, he probably hurt himself jumping out of bounds from a hit or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Did he get a case of Alligator Achilles or something... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Don't be surprised if the Eagles traded for Lelie....FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Don't be surprised if the Eagles traded for Lelie....FYI I'm afraid of them getting either him or Porter. One of those two coupled with Reggie would make for a pretty formidable tandem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Lelie is the the best they can do this close to the start of camp. Denver has all the leverage though as he's under contract and not expensive, so I'm guessing they will want a 2nd rounder (ouch). He's not a bad addition, but Javon Walker would have been much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinInExile Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Pinkston looks like he's 85 lbs soaking wet. I'm shocked every year when he finishes another season without being snapped in half... ...But then again, I guess its easier to preserve yourself when you develop alligator arms every time Talyor gets you in his sights.

sableholic Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Don't be surprised if the Eagles traded for Lelie....FYI I'll go on record as saying not likely. Sounds like Chicago is the leading suitor for him right now. And as others have said what would you trade? What position do you have that they need? Unless you meant draft picks.

Dirk Diggler Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Off the top of my head, I can't remember any WRs or CBs who ever came back from a torn Achilles to do much of anything. Maybe someone can help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and after the reviews of Hank Basket thus far...I'm pretty confident that they will stay put with the WR corp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINSNUT1972 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 He's not a great wide out so you would think he would try to stay healthy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
