Injuries suck....

Everret, Poole and now Joppru

Knee mishap floors Joppru
Injury-plagued TE drops during non-contact drill; MRI set for today
THE PAINFUL TRUTH
Bennie Joppru, a second-round draft pick from Michigan in 2003, has yet to play his first pro game:
2003
• Pelvic hernia: Goes on IR Aug. 31; out entire season.
2004
• Pelvic hernia: Lingering groin woes force return to IR.
2005
• Possible torn ACL in right knee: MRI exam today.
Until about 25 minutes remained in the first of a series of on-field coaching sessions, Bennie Joppru had run, cut and caught with great consistency.
For one of the few times in his brief and oft-interrupted pro career, the Texans tight end was going about his business on Monday as just another one of the guys.
Then, in an unfortunately familiar scene, something went terribly wrong.
Attempting to make a cut in the middle of the outdoor grass field, Joppru tumbled to the ground and clutched his right knee. He tried to get up, but thought better of it and immediately was surrounded by trainers. Within minutes, Joppru had been helped off the field and loaded onto a cart, quite possibly the victim of a third season-ending injury in as many years.
