New Orleans Saints Rookie Defensive Tackle Akiem Hicks To Miss Two To Three Weeks With Broken Hand
 

It seems that the injuries are starting to pile up for the New Orleans Saints. Running back Mark Ingram has been injured this offseason as well as quarterback Chase Daniel. Furthermore, defensive end Greg Romeus just suffered another torn ACL. Now you can add rookie defensive tackle Akiem Hicks to the list; he is expected to miss two to three weeks with a broken hand.

Apparently Hicks broke his hand during the Saints’ rookie camp and shortly after that he thought it was healed. It was two or three days later when Hicks came back to practice that he broke it again; according to Hicks he came back too soon. However, this time around Hicks was not aware right away that he had broken his hand. Hicks said he broke the hand again but did not notice until his hand started swelling up. Shortly after the swelling Hicks got some x-rays done and the x-rays confirmed that he suffered a broken hand.

Well, at least it's just a broken hand. Still plenty of time to heal up.

Surprise surprise, someone else made of glass on our team.

Someone pee pee'd in someone's Wheaties this morning.

What the hell..how do you break your hand in non contact???

Good question. We should ask Chase Daniel the same thing ...

Whip a cast on it and suit up! :bng:

Breaking a hand is actually really easy, the bones are so small that it doesn't take a lot of force. i broke min getting it jammed between myself and a QB.

We're done.

True, but I would say more like thin pieces of paper.

Well his is more understandable. He jammed it on a helmet. I broke a chip of bone off in my thumb from getting it jammed.

Its gonna be one of those seasons.

I hope not.:roll:

Watch after all this **** with the Brees contract he gets injured. That would be just our luck.

You're a regular Mr. Sunshine.

Ah, just wrap it up and go billy club style!!

You really don't think, in a year where the Cumbich has already lowered the boom on them, that the New Orleans Saints are going to do something that's never been done in playing at home in the Super Bowl, do you?

Thats precisely the year we will do it.
