I'm honestly getting tired of hooker missing reps

The fact that we can never stay healthy is really draining as a fan, tbh. I swear, we have to be in the top 5 for injuries and total missed games for starters almost every year. Even worse when your top 2 draft picks are hurt.

Agreed.  It's concerning how often he seems to have little niggling injuries keeping him out of much needed practice reps.

 

Really hoping this doesn't leak into the season.  Our depth is better at safety than it has been but need return on our draft investment.

4 career tackles and Hooker is already hurt. smh. The Colts safety position is cursed I tell ya.

Reminds me of my platoon medic back in the infantry days.  Anytime we were set to go out to the field he would excuse guys at the drop of a hat.  I finally got tired of it...

Didn't the staff tell you they were going to bring him back slowly?  Why are expecting something else?

Didn't mention anything to me specifically. ;)

 

I would have thought bringing him back slowly would include some red-shirt work to get him used to being out there with the defence and get those ball-hawk instincts firing again. 

 

I am happy to be proven wrong on his overall health but probably looking for it more based on his history and reputation.

When his injury is described as nagging, you don't expect him to miss over a week of practice

You gotta remember this guy wasn't able to participate in any of the offseason work.  I'm sure he's not in the same shape as everyone else.  They already know he can play.  I'm sure there's very little doubt.

[Fisticuffs111]

They said they'd bring back Hooker slowly from his previous injuries/surgeries, but I assume that can be taken to meant that also means any other injuries he picks up. I think part of the worry comes from the terrible luck we have with safeties getting injured.

I think they will be cautious with him during the preseason but I'll start to get concerned if he keeps consistently missing practices during the regular season.

Moncrief with a red jersey? 

 

Wow 

[jchandler7]

I already mentioned it in another thread but ill reiterate. What concerns me the most with Hooker is that this nagging shoulder pain he is having goes back to his injury he had in college. He had labrum surgery on the shoulder he is having pain from. I hope he didn't re-injure it or that this soreness is always going to be a problem for him going forward.

Works for me. The more he's hurt, less we have to pay him. Probably ends up chasing more money in Cleveland

Good to see Morris moving up!

Labrum surgery can be a 9 month to a year recovery.  See Luck.  Or heck, even Cam Newton - his surgery was in April, and he's still not suited up.  The fact that Hooker dressed and played in the first pre-season game amazed me.  I'm surprised the Colts didn't protect that shoulder a little longer.

Finally morris gets some recognition

I think the surgery was for his hip labrum, not his shoulder. So as far as I know, he hasn't had any shoulder procedures recently.

Kinda forced to keep him right now. Pre-season, gotta have at least 3 QB's

Don't sweat Hooker's injury.  He excelled against UM and Clemson playing with a torn hip labrum.  He's not a loafer.  His missing 2nd team snaps means little.  Still 2 more preseason games to get ready with 1st team.  Coach needs him to start.

 Thanks for the correction. I've known people that have torn their shoulder labrum.  Alot of QB's and baseball players have this injury. Everything I read about him just said hernia and labrum, I just automatically assumed it was his shoulder this whole time. That makes me feel alot better since it is shoulder soreness and not hip that he's dealing with now. Thanks again!

Tomorrow's injury report, half the team DNP because of burned retinas.

To be fair, we knew it would be this way (early on) with him.

 

That is why we drafted a top 5 pick with the 15th overall pick. 

 

This is the downside. The upside is soon to come.

It's crazy how many reports say shoulder...  you are correct, thanks for the correction.  I too assumed shoulder.  Good catch.

That's part of the reason. The other reason is that there was a huge run on offensive talent.

Your comment makes perfect sense. Wish we had patience and drafted Jaylen Smith last year.

History and reputation? You mean the one where he started and played in EVERY game last year and was a1st team All American? The team is handling him exactly as they should. Hooker is being treated no differently than Luck right now. It's PRESEASON.

Classy post.     Really appreciate it.       We're going to need all the classy posts we can get here the next month or so until Luck returns and we heal up from our injuries.....

 

Thanks again!
