Amobi Playing Injured

Not sure if this has popped up in the comments somewhere already, but it appears our boy Amobi has been playing with a "high ankle sprain" for some time now. This is according to Kuharsky's blog.

In some respects, this would be similar to Mario's first year: playing through an injury that stunted (at least stat wise) his growth as a player.

I've not been willing to start voicing my skepticism about Amobi based on his play this year. He's younger than a lot of incoming rookies will be this year and has a lot of room to develop. The injury would go a long way toward explaining some of his troubles this season.

The Chronicle had snippets of the same presser with Kubes in today’s paper. While I know a high ankle sprain is no joke, I note that Okoye’s been suffering from it “the last few weeks.” That’d be well and good if we’d seen a big dropoff over the past few weeks, but the fact is that Amobi’s been invisible all season.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
