Multiple News Outlets are calling AJ's Injury a Hamstring Injury...

thought that was strange. I always thought this week was unlikely. Next week week will be week #4 since the injury.

 

where is the panic button!! where???

 

Brandon Marshall time?

Hows it going?

Doing good.

How good? How much can you tell us about how you're feeling?

I'm progressing day by day. I'm getting better day by day. Yesterday was a little frustrating when I was doing my rehab because just seeing what the team is going through right now and I'm not being able to play. I want to be back on the field so bad. I got a little frustrated. Today makes two weeks since I had my procedure. Everybody is like you're doing so well because a lot of people who have regular hamstring pulls aren't doing what I'm doing right now so I'm headed in the right direction. I just wish it could heal faster than what it is.

What was that procedure like for you? What has it been like for you personally?

First time I ever had a hamstring problem period. It's a little different for me. I've never experienced it before so..Everyday going at it real hard. Going after rehab real hard. Like I said, it's a little frustrating because I want to be back on the field real bad.

When do you expect to be back on the field for practice purposes? Or when do you think? I know it's a feeling right now.

You really cant put a timetable on it. Whenever it feels back to normal. Right now, it's still weak. Not as strong as it used to be. I still cant run full speed yet. I am out on the field running. I've tried to run full speed but you know..I'm just taking it day by day.

A unique procedure. You had to ask what this will do long term.

Long term, I dont have to deal with it anymore. I think it stems from old injuries. I was having pain behind my knee. Even when I'm running now, I don't feel that pain anymore so thats a good thing. They say it could take up to six weeks at the most but I dont think it will take me that long.

When it happened, what was your first thought?

I knew it was my hamstring. A lot of people thought it was my ACL. Soon as it popped, I felt a pop and knew exactly what it was. It was a lot of pain, that's what made me go down. I could hear everybody in stands like "Oh my God" and everyone chanting "Andre" for me to get back up but I'm fine man. I'm just rehabbing everyday, trying to get back at it.

 

I love you andre. And yes, homo.

 

Popped huh?

ZOINKS !

I'd do it for a 3.

Nuts / Dresser

 

Damn how could there have been nothing new or at least anything confirmed with the 6 weeks rumor? The games before the bye certainly are winnable, but Arian won't be as effective against all these stacked lines.

 

Which begs the question, why didn't we go after a WR before the trade deadline or try to pick up someone like Mike Sims-Walker?

I guess the FO thinks highly of Jones.

 

i'm starting to hate the texans FO more and more

bunch of idiots

 

Mike Sims-Walker? You're so desperate for change that you've talked yourself into Mike Sims-Walker, a terrible WR that couldn't hack it on an 0-5 team going nowhere?

 

I was under the impression than Derrick Mason played WR.

 

Not like he used to.

 

Some good news. (sort of)

At this point, I'm just sick of the back-and-forth. He'll be ready to play when he's ready. The Texans still have to figure out a way to gain some consistency on offense, with or without Andre. Kubiak, that's on YOU.

 

Sorry, but the longest projections seem (IMHO) to be the most accurate -- the dude just had part of his hamstring stitched back on the bone + stem cell treatment. If he is back 100% before the end of the season it's a medical miracle.

 

He took a direct helmet-to-helmet shot to the head, which I'm pretty sure would affect just about anyone. Prior to this year, he started all 16 games for eight consecutive seasons. Yeah, it might be just a little premature to write Mason off as injury prone.

 

they didn't stick anything back together...they removed scar tissue.



But it looks like, at this pace, he will be back for the Cleveland game.
