Geez Beanie: Rookie RB Injured in first practice in Flagstaff

PrintWhat a first day for Beanie! 
Beanie Wells comes in at 3 AM after signing his first contract. He's jacked up about being at camp at lunchtime when talking to the media. Then in his first practice his left leg is rolled on and he's carted off with what is apparently an ankle injury. Now up here in Flagstaff with so much territory between the field and the locker room, being carted off isn't as scary as it usually is. Even a minor leg/ankle injuries usually gets the cart and hopefully that's all it is. We won't know until tomorrow afternoon's practice; there is no media availability at lunchtime on Sunday.
Damn, talk about some forces working against ya — at least Tim Hightower and Jason Wright looked good. Wells has had the "injury prone" label through college and this initial injury flushes those memories out like bats in the bellfry. One has to wonder if Edgerrin James is snickering in Florida right now...

Hopefully this isn’t a sign.

Just saw this on Sando's blog from 7/24....
Camp will be a downer if … Wells doesn’t immediately prove he can avoid the long list of injuries that affected him in college.
It’s the reason I didn’t want him to begin with, but now that he is a Card I hope he can remain healthy.

Maybe this means Beanie will follow in DRC’s footsteps.

mild ankle sprain
sounds good but lest we forget, rolle had the same in the preseason opener last year
here’s hoping this isn’t a sign…
Mild sprain of the RIGHT ankle
Apparently he was in for another play after the injury too. Certainly nothing to worry about….yet. ::knocks on wood::
We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!
rolle had a HIGH ankle sprain which is much worse
Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.
Thanks ROTB
My original post was rather spartan, and now it looks a hell of a lot better. Seems the injury isn’t too bad, so sounds like it is ok.
A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.
Weekends the RotB staff have familial obligations that makes regular updates more difficult.
So we appreciate when RotB members keep the energy going over the weekend. At this point, all I have to do is play “editor” and hit the “Promote to Front Page” radio button. Thanks Sir Whirly and the many others that have chimed in on weekends past.

I haven’t had the banner made yet so we don’t have a central spot yet, but I’ll be up there on the 7th for the afternoon practice and the 8th.
you guys make sure to give us some first hand reports
Who’s taking snaps with second team and where, who’s catching punts and kickoffs, who makes a great catch and who misses a big tackle……you know the good stuff.
Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Definitely
I am going to try and stay there for both practices on Monday the 10th it looks.

My schedule has changed a bit I'll be up there for the 6th only.
Sucks that you can’t hit both practices on Friday.

Do you go to every home game?
Hey AJ, I put in the order for the banner. Do you go to each home game? I don’t have a canopy yet, so I’m wondering if we should hang it off of your canopy in the meantime.
Will try to go to most
I relocated to Utah this year, so it will be tough to make them all. I’m going to the home opener and the Sunday night Colts game for sure.
I park in the grass F lot if that helps.
