Hardy has company
James Hardy has not been the only rookie wide receiver to get bit by the injury bug during training camp. More than half of the nine receivers drafted in the second round have missed practice time due to injuries. No wonder no receivers were taken in the first round.
Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly of the Washington Redskins won't play against the Bills on Saturday because of hamstring injuries. Kelly also had arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday and will miss at least two weeks. Redskins coach Jim Zorn was critical of his rookie wideouts, suggesting that their injuries were the result of them coming into training camp out of shape. In fact, past injury issues were one reason teams shied away from Thomas and Kelly.
