Vickerson couldn’t practice during many of the OTAs because of his knee. I know it was somewhat reported, because when we traded for him we had to wait for it to heal. When he did get to training camp I was attending the practice where he tweaked it on the second to last play, and after limping off, had to be helped around. He didn’t miss the next day though. It seems he’s been held out of practices off and on due to it, but it’s been underreported, and when we do see him it hasn’t seemed debilitating.

Since his rookie year was lost due to an ACL injury he had in preseason against the Alex Gibbs Falcons offensive line, he hasn’t had a lot of NFL time. The fact that in 2005 he had this injury, and if assumptions are correct reinjury (small or large) is still affecting him in 2010, one wonders how big of a part of the Seahawks future Vickerson could have. But we still could/should have been able to take this full season to find out.

And the previous subject line was me stating “rec’d for asking for real info” in the midst of all the rumors.
