    Yes, Achilles rupture.


    To the poster above saying I thought he played end, he plays DE/DT


    DT does not equal NT..which he does not play.

    He did well in rotation in 2009. We haven't any real grasp of how he developed in this year due to the injury.

    Two things come to mind in terms of positive development for the future is his being IR'd and not re;eased and Rex's reaction to the injury. Signing of Trevor Pryce may be a ckus that RP was thought to be capable

    I'm not sure on specifics of the injury but I guess rehab and how he shows in OTAs and camp in 2011 will be a clue.

    I hope we can keep him but dline is a need once this season closes.

    Remember that Michael hayes (haynes?) guy from training camp last season?

    We need someone huge, not some with potential to be average

    Hopefully he can fully recover & not have any ill effects.

    Seriously? The guy's been on the roster for like 3 seasons. Do you know this team or not?


    Anyway.....he plays DE. Hard to say if he can be a player of the future for us....he's never really played extensive time against starters...but he's managed to stay on the roster so I imagine the guy has a shot at being a depth player. He is 6'9 though, so that could be an issue against run blockers....but great in passing situations.
