NewFalcon Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 FWIW: Here's the latest NFL Buzz from Fox Sports, and it includes a snippet of info/speculation on the possible return of M. Jenkins to our lineup:Jenkins nearing a return — 9:02 a.m.The Atlanta Falcons have been without starting WR Michael Jenkins since he suffered a shoulder injury during a training camp practice on Aug. 6.The seventh-year pro started limited practicing over the last week, so it's possible that he'll be able to play in Sunday's home game against the San Francisco 49ers.Third-year WR Harry Douglas has been filling for Jenkins. Douglas is really a slot receiver, so getting back an outside receiver such as Jenkins should really help solidify their passing game.— Adam CaplanNFL Buzz: latest NFL news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Jenks has been hurt since Friday Night Lights, correct? It must have been one helluva tumble he took. Did anyone witness what happened to the guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone witness what happened to the guy?I wasnt there, but what I heard he went up high and came down hard and awkward on his shoulder .

HatedInRayJay1 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Jenks has been hurt since Friday Night Lights, correct? It must have been one helluva tumble he took. Did anyone witness what happened to the guy?I think someone posted it at one point. It may have been on the highlights from the Friday Night Lights game. So it may be on the home page. I'm not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofEuphoria Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) It didnt look all that bad at the time, and they said 4-6 weeks.It's been nearly 8 weeks now.I really hate all the secretive injury info our team hides. It's the only complaint i really have about them.Sometimes i understand the reasoning behind it, but most of the time it serves no purpose.To this day, noone outside of Falcons Headquarters knows the real injury that Jenkins sustained.

vel Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I think they are being extremely precautionary. Even though many on this board see Jenkins as unnecessary he is still a vital part to this offense and shoulder injuries are highly recurring injuries. He needs to come back 110% and I'm fine with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharma Initiative Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hard to believe Jenkins is in his 7th year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconPio Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yea time flies. Its been a minute since he has been out there. They really shouldn't put him on the field til he catches every single ball in practice.The guy will be vital to the team the last 5 weeks of the season going into the playoffs.

Abe Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I broke my collar bone playing football and it took awhile to come back but I did return. It was very uncomfortable for a long time and I had to wear this weird brace that kept my shoulders back for 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crankdatfalcon Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I wasnt there, but what I heard he went up high and came down hard and awkward on his shoulder .actually whoever told you that was wrong. matt underthrew a long pass to him and he tried to come back and dive for it but landed funny..

1989Fan Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I cant wait to get Jenkins back. Most dont see the big deal, but I think offense is only operating at 60-70% without him......could be scary (running and passing) with him back in!Think about Douglas being back in the slot, so it is basically improving both WR spots.Not to mention Jenkins could be the best blocking WR in the NFL. (him or Hines Ward)As much as people downed Jenkins as a #2, seeing Douglas there for 3 weeks showed just how good Jenkins is. (no chance HD steals his spot there!)

paulitik Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) I'm going to one up Jedi and say that Jenkins was actually accidentally killed at FNL and the staff have been pulling a "Weekend at Bernie's" ever since.
