My wife just forwarded me a FB message from Jurecki saying that Niklas rolled his ankle during mini-camp and needs a minor procedure done on it, but should be ready for camp.

Here's hoping he shakes the injury bug!!

He's Todd Heap, without any past production to speak of.

Wonderful.....

Does this guy go to the same gym as Early Doucet ?

Heeeeyoooooooooo!

Seriously, good to hear it is only to remove supports from his previous injury.

From Urban's blog:

— Tight end Troy Niklas is having a minor surgical procedure on his previously injured left ankle to remove what he described as the “tightrope” in his ankle, which had kept the area tight but also restricted his movement. He said he’ll move much better in training camp afterward. Niklas was sitting out Wednesday with his right ankle sore after rolling it Tuesday.

This makes it sound like the removal of this "tightrope" in his ankle is part of the process. I kinda doubt that's actually the case. Sure hope this doesn't come up again and cause him to miss more time.

Maybe Fells will be our Sleeper Superstar. He may have to be.

He's dead on :p

His production will never justify his being overdraffted imo.

Overreact, overreact much?

Yes, you do per usual.

This is a simple out patient procedure like removing scar tissue, nothing more.

And he wasn't over drafted. He came out early and was seen as round one material if he stayed an extra season.

He doesn't have the skillset of Gonzalez, Gates, Graham, etc. thus I think he's overdrafted.

When he produces at a high level, then you can talk, until then he's just another dude.
I'm dying to hear your expectations for catches, yds & TDs per year?

So he rolled the right ankle, and will have a procedure on the left

Check.
