Harvin injured today

[Podunkparte]

Percy limped off the practice field today and was being looked at by the training staff. Not good news but hopefully it's a minor thing this time.

Scrapes and bruises will happen in training camp. But with Harvin it just feeds into the whole ' made of glass ' thing.

Hopefully it's just a minor thing.

you have no idea how mad I would be if this man missing playing. Him missing all of last season was bad enough even though we cant complain we did win a superbowl but damn starting to wish we never made that trade should have drafted cordelle patterson

Harvin will always be dinged up. That's just the type of player he is. Hopefully it's nothing serious. I hate seeing good players lost to an injury before the season even gets underway.

 

[dkmightyhammer]

So according to another message board NBC updated and said he got cleated and returned to the practice field 20 minutes later.

I wish these news guys would stop going for the big headline and just report the facts and reality. Probably going to be the same thing with Lynch.

Pete confirmed this after practice, he's all good!

Good sportsmanship right there...

Harvin is a great athlete but as brittle as fine china.

Agree, I dont need to see him in any preseason games.

I'll take fine china over a dixie cup every day.

The advantage of having a player like Harvin on our team: It's hard to gameplan against him when you don't know much about him except his days in Minnesota which is like a thing of the past now.

people calm down. His first 3 years he missed a total of 3 games that's it. He missed a ton his 4th season and had surgery in the off season on a hip issue that had been bothering him and caused him to miss a little time in the 4th season. This pretty much killed his 1st season ( 5th in the NFL )with us but as far as made out of China, no he is not but he has had 1 major issue that made him basically miss 22 games out of a possible 32. That is the truth of this. You all remember a cat by the Name of Sidney Rice? he had much worse issues than Harvin. Lets hope That Harvin can play 13+ games for us this year as i believe he will. If he does so i also believe that it will mean +3 wins in those 13 games that we would have lost with out him.

Well look here a Cowboys fan. Why do you Cowboys always show up in the preseason only to vanish a couple weeks into the regular season? No need to answer that we all know why. Because your team as a whole is made to fail. Then you add in the Yes Sir i have no mind of my own coach and you can see why you will not sniff success until Jerry Jones starts taking his hands out of everything

P.S. Putting Clint Eastwood as your Avatar pic is very funny for a Cowboys fan, you should use something more in line for the team you root for. Like a Daisy, or a Kitten or something :P.

Even if he breaks a finger nail during practice, it will still makes headline... It is what it is with Percy.

Agreed. All it does is "confirm" what some people already have in their heads as the "truth" and gives them no reason to read further.

That's probably not a bad idea. Worked last year.

So your confident that he'll play 13 plus games? He's brittle enough that nobody else on this board feels he will. If he plays more than 8 regular season games, it'll be a miracle.

This has become a myth that people believe as fact now because it's been repeated so much.

Percy played 45 out of 48 games in his first 3 years (2009, 2010, 2011) . He then played 9 games in 2012 before being injured. So including that injury year he's still played 84% of all games in those 4 years. Last year was the only year that was truly bad because he needed hip surgery. Not much the cat can do about that.

I'm sure part of the myth comes from his missing a lot of practice time in Minny because of the migraines, but as far as injuries go he's not bad at all. Probably even better that a lot of others.

It wouldn't surprise me to see him play every game this year, but its a crap shoot for him just like it is for every single player out there.
