SkinsNatsFan Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/ On the day before training camp begins, the Redskins already face a potential injury problem. Third-year player Malcolm Kelly, vying for the No. 2 wide receiver position, recently suffered a hamstring injury and might sit out practice Thursday at Redskins Park, according to people familiar with the situation. The injury occurred while Kelly participated in quarterback Donovan McNabb's "Hell Week" that began July 19. McNabb, as he did during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, invited some of his new teammates to his Phoenix-area home for a week of grueling workouts and team building. Wideouts Devin Thomas, Santana Moss and Kelly were among those expected to participate. Kelly experienced tightness in his hamstring during one of the workouts, the sources said. He immediately contacted the Redskins' medical/training staff for guidance. The Redskins plan to proceed cautiously with Kelly, who worked hard to overcome knee problems and microfracture surgery after his rookie season. Coach Mike Shanahan is expected to address Kelly's situation after the first practice Thursday. Although the injury is not considered serious, the team would rather have Kelly rest and receive treatment than try to participate in the early stages of camp. Hamstring injuries can linger, especially when players rush back before they are completely healed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Not a surprise.I think Kelly will end up getting cut. Moss has a history of hammy issues. We haven't cut him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOSS89 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Moss has a history of hammy issues. We haven't cut him yet. By next week it'll be over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRNY4ZRNY Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 lets not live and die with every minor injury. Its football it happens. MK will be fine. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkypoo Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Despite that it "is not considered serious," I don't know how he hasn't yet earned the nickname "Mr. Glass" and had his face shopped over Samuel L in a wheelchair. Someone with skills should make that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11lavar56 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I hope this is a minor setback for Malcolm. He seems a perfect fit for the new offense and I'm hoping him and Devin explode on the scene this year. The Skins need both to have good seasons for the team to make any real steps to get back to playoff contention. After last years collapse I think all Skins fans are praying for a healthy season with as few injuries as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Moss has a history of hammy issues. We haven't cut him yet. But.....he's Santana Moss. And Malcolm..........is unfortunately Malcolm Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatethe cowboys Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Not a surprise.I think Kelly will end up getting cut. Not his fault. He was putting in work when he didn't need to be. As long as he doesn't lose significant time, it shouldn't be too big of a problem. It's also a good thing for him that he got invited to Hell Week.

heliKCx17 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Like PD said, MK has the best hands on the team. The management would be a laughingstock if they kept Galloway over a 24-year-old-with-the-best-hands-on-the-team receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondrae474 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I hope Kelly recovers quickly. If the rumors of him being on the bubble are true he could be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflow78 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Sheez, why does it always have to be something with this guy!!! I really want him to be healthy and contribute but damn... That's exactly how I feel. I like the guy, want him to be great, but will we EVER see him do ANYTHING?!?! I'm sure it's more annoying for him than it is for us, so I hope he's alright and heals up quick, and doesn't have any more of this **** to deal with.

Dukes and Skins Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'm not too worried it didn't say a bad hamstring pull just some tightness. He'll be fine by the 3rd day or so and then hopefully have a good year for us on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGREENHULK Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 While Kelly watches practice Austin, Banks, Wade, Galloway and Armstrong will be getting his reps..I feel bad for the guy.if he misses too many practices his only chance to show will be in the preseason games. But it could be minor pull and nothing to nworry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
