Tampa Bay Buccaneers Nicks Treated For MRSA

Two Tampa Bay Buccaneers players are being treated for MRSA infections, team and union sources told NFL.com's Albert Breer last Thursday. The situation was described to Breer as "something like what the Cleveland Browns dealt with" from 2003 to 2008. 
MRSA infections are nothing to joke around with, and they're something NFL locker rooms are familiar with. Former Washington Redskins defensive lineman Brandon Noble almost lost a limb during a 2004 outbreak. 
Left guard Carl Nicks and kicker Lawrence Tynes are the affected players, with Nicks' infection affecting his toe. 
Last week before the MRSA infection was announced, coach Greg Schiano said with regards to Nicks' toe, "It's not something you mess around with, but it's not your common injury, either. The next question is how long will it be? I don't know that. We've got to let the medicine run its course and see if we can get that thing straightened out."
The Buccaneers sanitized the facility last weekend while the players were in New England for a preseason game. They will continue to sanitize the facility and the team handed out soap that helps control outbreaks. Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport that there have been no new outbreaks in a week.
"We had a company come in and nuke the building a week ago after the cultures taken from Nicks and Tynes confirmed it was MRSA," Dominik told ESPN.com. "It was a precautionary move, but we don't want to fool around with it. Our owners said spare no expense. We had the facility treated, and the league approved of our actions."
The team announced last Thursday that Nicks will need five to seven days for the medicine to take effect before creating a timetable for his return. Rapoport reported that Nicks won't play the rest of the preseason and is doubtful for Week 1, according to a source. The Buccaneers don't plan on rushing him back to the field. 
The infection on Nicks' toe is the same toe that prematurely ended his 2012 season. With their All-Pro guard out, the team lost the next five of six games.

Giants Outfielder Torres On DL

San Francisco Giants outfielder Andres Torres was placed on the 15 day disabled list last Thursday because
of a strained Achilles tendon. He may not return this season.
Torres has been dealing with the injury since the 2011 season. He had a second opinion with Dr. Robert Anderson and is hoping to avoid surgery on his foot, even though the MRI showed bone spurs in the area.
"I need to be 100%," Torres said. "After we won the World Series and they gave us the rings (April 9th, 2011), I hurt this foot and I've never been the same. Playing like this is not going to be good for me and it's not going to be good for the organization. I respect them a lot. This is something I have to work to get better.
"When you don't play 100%, that affects you," Torres continued. "You see this year, my defense hasn't been the best. I really care. Last year, I hurt it a little bit again. I remember 2010, I used to drive the ball from the left side. But (now), my left foot kind of lifts, I lose my power."
Torres has tried rehabilitation and it did not help. Torres, who is known for his speed, said his left foot bothers him most when hitting from the left side and the pain has limited him to running at about 80%.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Torres called him at 1:30 p.m. last Thursday to tell him he couldn't play in the opener of a four-game series against the NL Central-leading Pittsburgh Pirates.
"It's bothering him to the point where he needs a break," Bochy said. "I can't say it's over yet until he gets evaluated. I think that will determine what ends up happening with Andres. Is there a possibility for surgery? Sure. That's why he's getting it checked out."
Bochy didn't know Torres was having an off-and-on issue with his foot, but doesn't seem bothered he wasn't aware of it. "This isn't a case where we thought he was hiding anything. You always appreciate a player who wants to be out there and play. I can talk to almost every one of them, and there's probably something going on, especially here in August, including my staff. It goes with the territory."
Torres, 35, signed a $2 million, one-year contract with the Giants last winter to return after spending one year with the New York Mets. He is batting .250 with two home runs and 21 RBIs with four stolen bases in 103 games this season.
Bochy is in no hurry to get Torres back, saying, "There's no rush to get Andres back. We want him to be healthy. He's got his future to think of." If Torres does come back this season, it will be mostly as a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner, or late defensive replacement.

Two Titans Out With Foot Injuries

The regular season hasn't even happened yet, and the roster for the Tennessee Titans looks much different than it did at the start of training camp.
The Titans will be without two of their three starting linebackers for at least the rest of the preseason. 
Akeem Ayers will be sidelined for the rest of the preseason, and likely some of the regular season with a high ankle sprain he suffered during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The injury is serious enough that Ayers couldn't say for certain if he would be healthy for the season opener against Pittsburgh.
"They haven't really told me anything yet, so I guess we're just really playing day by day to see how my ankle feels and how I'm progressing each week and just pretty much go from there really," Ayers said. "It's a high ankle. It wasn't as bad as a few guys on our team, but everybody heals differently. So I don't think it's that bad. It's starting to feel better already, but I pretty much just need to take care of it right now and go from there."
Ayers has been a strong side linebacker for the past two years, and is a key component in the Titans' defense, able to play rush end in the nickel package. He's so good at what he does that it would take two people to replace him: Patrick Bailey will line up at the base package and Kamerion Wimbley will replace Ayers at the nickel. 
"I was just really getting a feel for my new role on defense. I was doing a lot of good things, as far as really rushing the passer," Ayers said. "I was getting a feel for it, and it's stuff that I really wanted to get a chance to finish the preseason out with. It is what it is. The best I can do right now is just get myself healthy and do the best I can to get on the field as soon as possible."
Weak side linebacker Zach Brown is also out this week with a bruised and sprained right foot. 
"They said they're gonna hold me out because it's preseason and they don't want to lose somebody during the preseason and not have them for the regular season," Brown said. "It's a bunch of things, but I'll be all right."
Greg Jones, himself just back from an ankle injury, along with Kadarron Anderson, Tim Shaw, and Jonathan Willard can fill in for Brown.

Jockey Rosario Out For Six Weeks

Top jockey Joel Rosario took a spill from his horse on Friday at the Saratoga Race Course and broke his left foot. He will be out six weeks while he recovers. 
Rosario was hurt during the seventh race while riding last-place finisher Casual Elegance. The horse unseated him after the race ended and Rosario lay on the turf for several minutes before getting up and limping to a golf cart. Agent Ron Anderson said the injury occurred when Casual Elegance either "stepped on him," or "clipped him" with her heel. 
Dr. Rick Alfred, a New York orthopedist and a New York Giants team physician, examined Rosario on Saturday and confirmed that the jockey "fractured a bone in his left foot," said Anderson. The Kentucky Derby winning jockey was fitted with a cast before he left Alfred's office in Albany. 
"He was having such a monumental season," said Anderson. "It was shocking to both of us because it was one of those falls that you don't think looked that bad. But when you get kicked or stepped on... it could have been worse if it was in a different place. His spirits are OK. It's part of the game.
"It's unfortunate, he's young and really, really good," added Anderson. "We're taking a positive approach."
Rosario won the Dubai World Cup aboard Animal Kingdom and then rode Orb to a victory at the Kentucky Derby. He leads all North American jockeys with 237 wins and winnings of $16,713,440. Rosario, 28 from the Dominican Republic, was the second-leading rider at Saratoga this summer with 41 victories.

Packers' Rookie Datone Jones has Ankle Sprain

Rookie defensive lineman Datone Jones sprained his ankle in the Green Bay Packers' preseason opener and returned to practice last week with the hopes that he would be able to go the full game last Friday against the Seattle Seahawks. 
He initially sprained the ankle on the first play against Arizona and did not play another down. He sat out an entire week's worth of practice and after returning, in a team drill halfway through practice he tweaked his ankle once again and limped badly off the field. He attempted to walk it off, but ended up in the Don Hutson Center to have ice applied. 
A source says that the sprain isn't serious, but the big concern was whether it would turn into something more serious and is a problem throughout the season. 
Jones missed all of the 2010 season at UCLA with a right broken foot, but started both his junior and senior years. 
Early on in camp, Jones looked like he was going to be a key player in the Packers' 2013 season. He was great on the 1-on-1 pass rush drills and even showed some natural ability in the intrasquad scrimmage. This ankle sprain however means that Jones has just one preseason play under his belt- that doesn't give him much practice in a real time situation. 
"It's hard for any young guy if he's not on the practice field," said defensive coordinator Dom Capers. "We've been through that here before. You remember Clay's (Matthews) rookie year and B.J.'s (Raji) rookie year; Clay had the hamstring, B.J. sprained his ankle in the last preseason game.
"We've had Datone for one play in the preseason. That's just the way it is. Once he's back and ready to go, we're going to have to really put him on a crash course."

Michigan WR Darboh Out For Season

Starting wide receiver for Michigan, sophomore Amara Darboh, will be out for the entire season after having surgery on a foot injury. 
U-M coach Brady Hoke hinted on Tuesday that Darboh might be out for a while after getting injured in Saturday's scrimmage. He confirmed this news Wednesday in a released statement.
"I love Amara, and just hate it for him, how hard he worked through the off-season and fall camp to earn a starting role," Hoke said. "We'll rally around him like a family does and help him get through this difficult time."
Darboh was expected to be Michigan's No. 2 receiver and be a large target opposite Jeremy Gallon this season. During training camps he had become a consistent target for quarterback Devin Gardner. The 6-foot-2, 212-pound native of Des Moines, IA played mostly on special teams during his freshman year. He has good speed for a larger receiver. 
Offensive coordinator Al Borges was disappointed when he found out Darboh would be out for the entire season. "Fortunately we have some pretty good kids who can fill in, but I feel worse for him than anybody," Borges said. "The kid had an excellent spring ball and capped it off with a fabulous two a days, he was playing good. I feel bad because I feel this was going to be an almost coming out season for him. He's got a redshirt, so I guess there is a silver lining." 
Reference: Detroit Free Press
Senior receiver Joe Reynolds said that in Darboh's absence, Gallon and redshirt freshman Jehu Chesson had stepped up their games.

Giants Victor Cruz Recovering From Bone Bruise

The New York Giants thought this was going to be a bigger deal than it ended up being. 
Star receiver Victor Cruz left last Sunday's preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts with a foot injury suffered on the team's first drive. 
Cruz was injured after getting tangled up with Colts defensive backs Antoine Bethea and Greg Toler. Bethea was called for a pass interference on the play, which resulted in a Giants 39-yard gain. Cruz stayed in the game for several more plays before leaving the field. He left MetLife Stadium before the locker rooms opened to reporters. 
As Cruz headed to the locker room to get X-rays taken on his foot Andrew Luck and the Colts scored 17 consecutive points. The Giants never recovered from the deficit, losing the game 20-12. 
The good news however was that the Pro Bowl receiver, who signed a six-year $46 million contract before training camp had suffered a bone bruise on his heel. 
"He jammed his heel and is sore so that's all I know," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin. "He runs to make his living and he's obviously got an issue with the heel. Hopefully it's not going to be a long thing." 
Coughlin said the team's medical staff would continue to do some testing and he could not tell at that point whether he would play in yesterday's game. 
 "He felt fine," receiver Hakeem Nicks said after the game. "I don't really know what the details of the injury was but he said he was fine. I really don't think it's that serious. I think they just played it safe by holding him out."
Bone bruises, while less serious than other injuries, can be a nuisance. Depending on the severity of the bruise, it can sometimes be worse than actually breaking a bone, which can be reset. Bone bruises are damage and injury to the soft tissue, ligaments, and tendons, as well as the bone. Little can be done for bone bruises except icing and rest. The pain from a bone bruise can be felt for months after the initial injury. So while the Giants are right to not be overly concerned about the injury, they should be worried about the quality of his running.

Le'Veon Bell To Miss First Month Of Football Season

While the news for Kirk Cousins was good, the news for Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Le'Veon

Bell, who was injured in the same game. 
Bell hobbled off the field during the 24-13 loss on Monday to the Washington Redskins with what was originally called a mid-foot sprain. Bell had just returned to practice last Friday after experiencing some knee stiffness that kept him out of the preseason opener. 
It has now been announced that Bell has the dreaded Lisfranc injury, an injury we have been seeing more and more lately in the sports world. The second-round pick will miss at least the first month of the season, a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL.com's Jason La Canfora. Doctors are hoping that he will be back to the field within 6-8 weeks, but if you follow this blog, and know anything about Lisfranc injuries, that time frame can often expand.
Wednesday the team issued a statement from coach Mike Timlin, stating: "Le'Veon had his MRI on Tuesday, and we are still awaiting final diagnosis and results of a second opinion. He will not participate this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs and I will provide an update once we have received the official results of his tests over the next couple of days."
Several hours later FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer tweeted, "Steelers believe Le'Veon Bell has Lisfranc injury... they are hoping [it] will not require surgery but won't be sure until he gets it double-checked."
Bell tweeted, "I'll be back quicker than ppl kno it... God doesn't make mistakes! Everything happens for a reason, so..."
Bell was a bright spot in the Steelers' inconsistent running game, which now looks very similar to what it looked like in 2012.

MRI On Kirk Cousins' Foot Shows No Damage

An MRI exam taken on Tuesday showed no serious damage was done to Washington Redskins
quarterback Kirk Cousins' right foot. The MRI was taken to rule out something more serious, like the dreaded Lisfranc injury.
No significant ligament damage was done to Cousins' foot, a source close to the quarterback said. Cousins should be ready to play for the Redskins' regular season opening game on September 9th against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Redskins called this a mild mid-foot sprain after the game and hoped that nothing serious would be found.
The backup quarterback left Monday's 24-13 preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers after suffering the injury to his right foot. X-rays taken during the game were found to be negative, and wearing a boot after the game, Cousins told NFL.com's Jeff Darlington that he didn't expect missing any time.
Cousins was hurt during the second quarter when he was trying to get out of bounds during a scramble. Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons grabbed Cousins from behind and the quarterback rolled his foot on the Redskins' sideline.
Cousins tried to walk the injury off, but sat down near the huddle. He was tended to by trainers and walked off the field on his own volition. Rex Grossman replaced Cousins, who remained on the sidelines several minutes after the injury but eventually left for the locker room.
Cousins has started the Redskins' first two preseason games while starter Robert Griffin III is being eased back into full-time duties after having knee surgery in January. Cousins is valuable insurance as he won a significant victory for the Redskins in Cleveland in his first NFL start when Griffin was hurt.

Blue Jays' Izturis Day To Day With Foot Injury

Blue Jays infielder Maicer Izturis is listed as day to day after suffering a left ankle sprain during Tuesday

night's 3-2 loss to the Yankees.
Izturis sprained his ankle while running to first base after hitting a slow grounder to third in the fifth inning. He stayed in the game until the sixth inning, when veteran Mike DeRosa replaced him.
It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, but for the Blue Jays, it's just another injury on top of many others.
"He'll be alright," said manager John Gibbons. "I have no idea [if he can play on Wednesday]."
Tuesday was a banner day for injuries for the Blue Jays. Besides Izturis with a sprained ankle, right fielder Jose Bautista left with a bone bruise in Game 1 of the doubleheader and will be out at least two weeks while he rests.
They join a list of players that includes: Dustin McGowan, Steve Delebar Josh Johnson, Brandon Marrow, Juan Perez, Melky Cabrera, and Colby Rasmus. The team is rightly getting frustrated over each successive injury.
"I know all guys go through injuries, but this is starting to get a little ridiculous," start Mark Buehrle said. "Guys are dropping like flies here. But this is why we play  the season. I said that in Spring Training, obviously we look good on paper, but we have to go out there and stay healthy and when certain guys go down, you have to have certain guys step in.
"We're in a situation where we're not doing too good right now, a bunch of guys are falling down and getting hurt and we have to have guys fill in."
Izturis is hitting .236 with five homeruns and 31 RBIs in 106 games. It's 16 games shy of a career high, and this ankle sprain isn't expected to keep him out of the lineup for a long period of time.

Shoes To Blame For Torii Hunter's Pain

All-Star outfielder Torii Hunter needs to be more careful when selecting shoes. 

The Detroit Tigers right fielder left last Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox in the eighth inning because of a sore Achilles tendon, which he says was caused by dress shoes that were too tight. 
"I'll be fine tomorrow. Just a little sore," Hunter said. "I played through it the whole game. It happened this morning, but I'm fine. I'm fine."
Hunter said he recently purchased shoes that "might have been a little tight on the Achilles." He homered during Detroit's 7-4 loss. 
"A little sore the whole game," he added. Hunter did not say when he purchased the shoes and was confident he would play on Friday, which he did. 
This is certainly one of the most bizarre foot injuries we've ever heard of in the baseball world, but it is certainly something that could happen, not just to athletes. When you wear shoes that are too tight, too small, too large, or have not support, all kinds of foot and ankle injuries can occur. It's likely the shoes Hunter was wearing were pinching his Achilles tendon because they were too tight in the heel counter. Shoes should not need a "breaking in" period, but if you have shoes that are tight or a bit too small, you can take them to your podiatrist and they will stretch them out for you.
We've recently seen how important shoes are in the sports world, especially with Joakim Noah. There was speculation the shoes he was wearing to play basketball were aggravating his plantar fasciitis. That is why it is important to consult a shoe fitting expert who can fit your current size and discuss with you your particular needs. Remember: if your shoes hurt in the store while you are trying them on, they are definitely going to hurt when you wear them after they have been purchased!

Blaine Gabbert Ankle Sprain Not Serious

Fortunately for the Jacksonville Jaguars, quarterback Blaine Gabbert's ankle sprain is not serious. 

Gabbert was taken off the field Monday with an ankle sprain after veteran guard Uche Nwaneri stepped on Gabbert's ankle while trying to move to pick up a stunting defensive end. Gabbert immediately fell to the ground and slammed his helmet against the grass in frustration. Oh my, temper, temper. 
Gabbert later participated in the team's walk-through later that night. Coach Gus Bradley called the injury a "freak deal." 
Gabbert is a former first-round draft pick and is competing against Chad Henne for the Jaguar's starting quarterback position. He played his whole rookie season in 2011 with a nagging toe injury and missed the final six games of last season with an injury to his right forearm. He has also played through a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder.
Gabbert threw for 1,662 yards last season on 58.3 percent with nine touchdowns and six picks before his season was ended. This was a vast improvement over his rookie season, when he was sacked 40 times and fumbled 14 times- a league high- while completing just 50.8 percent of his passes.
Before the accident, Gabbert was playing good football, one of his best so far in training camp. Two days after a practice that included several botched snaps, Gabbert completed 11 of 15 passes in 11-on-11 drills on Monday. The overall feeling is that things were headed in Gabbert's direction, but the injury puts a damper on his chances.

Buffalo Bills' Williams Has Mysterious Foot Injury

Mario Williams did not participate in the Buffalo Bills' first training camp Sunday night because of a sore

foot.
Coach Doug Marrone was mum on which foot Williams hurt, how or when it happened, and the nature of the injury.
"Mario reported to our athletic training staff that he had a sore foot," Marrone said after the two-plus hour session at the team's training camp in suburban Rochester. "So what we wanted to do was hold him out of practice and let our medical staff evaluate him."
Marrone did not elaborate as to how long Williams will be out, as the injury is still being evaluated.
Williams declined to comment at practice and deferred all questions to Marrone. He did however say he was disappointed to miss the opening session and then apologized that he could not say more.
Williams did not appear to be walking with a limp, and did not participate in any individual or team drills, watching practice from the sidelines with his helmet on. He was spotted several times bending over, stretching out his back.
This foot injury was a surprise as Williams did not indicate he was having any health issues when he reported to camp on Friday. When he arrived at camp, Williams said he was motivated to put behind him his inconsistent first season with the Bills. He led the team with 10.5 sacks, but his playing time was hindered because of a left wrist injury that required surgery in late October. Williams is in the midst of a six-year, $100 million contract with the team, which he signed while in free agency.
Starting defensive tackle Kyle Williams was limited in practice as he is eased back into playing from offseason surgery to remove bone spurs in his right foot.
