Eagle091 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 http://www.theredzone.org/news/showarticle.asp?ArticleID=5177 Last week, Finneran had his second reconstructive surgery on his left knee in two years and will miss the 2007 season, coach Bobby Petrino said Thursday. Finneran, 31, missed last season with a severe knee injury. He hurt the knee again in May while going through rehabilitation. "He had a lot of differing (medical) opinions and decided last week to go in and get the reconstruction surgery," Petrino said. "It's a 9-to 12-month recovery period, and unfortunately that means he's out for the season." The second major injury to the same knee could be career-threatening for Finneran, who led the team's receivers in 2005 with 60 catches and 611 yards.

CalSkinsFan Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Certainly back luck for Finneran. But bad luck for the Falcon's, too, with Finneran being their leading reciever the last time he played. Everything thing they try to help Vick seems to go to pot :doh: . That team could be a mess this season, with Vick's off field problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman#21 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Man, Finneran strikes me as a player who always hustles and tries his best, it always has to be the good guy getting hurt right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepard Wong Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I was bummed when Reid cut him so quickly for one dropped pass in the end zone. As a 'Nova grad, I'm especially sorry to hear about this latest injury. Sad. Hitman is right, it always seems like the good guys have the worst luck.

pjfootballer Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 This is the type of player I'd like us to get next year as long as he's recovered and is 100%. He could be that BIG WR everyone wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be 32, coming off 2 major knee surgeries (to same knee) and won't have played foot ball in almost 3 years. If it was Jerry Rice or Tim Brown when they were that age, I could see it, but not Finneran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Jerry Rice or Tim Brown when they were that age, I could see it, but not Finneran. True, but 32 isn't a death sentence and I'm sure he'd be cheap. I was watching the NFL Europa and there are a couple of big WR's that I like. One played for Frankfurt Aaron Hosak who is a FA/Continuity player and Marcus Maxwell of Hamburg. Both of them are over 6-3 and are big body types. Maxwell's rights are with the 49ers though. I also like PK Sam of the Fire, but the Dolphins have his rights. We have Ryan Hoag who is 6-3 and played with Berlin, but was injured most of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I feel bad for him, but I can't wait to see the Falcons suck. I hope Ron Mexico can watch his Falcons from prision nd Finneran gets to watch a good team from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
