Thread: Peyton Hillis re-injures hamstring

This year has definitely not been good for him, with his contract running out.

from article:

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis has re-injured his left hamstring in practice, making his return after missing two games unlikely.

In the latest twist to a drama-filled season for Hillis, he pulled up following a running play in practice on Friday. He fired the ball to the ground and then flung his helmet in frustration before being escorted back to the team's facility by a trainer.

Hillis' second season in Cleveland has been full of setbacks. He has been involved in a contract squabble with the club, missed a game earlier this season with strep throat, and this week failed to show up at a Halloween party for kids, an absence he blamed on a miscommunication with his management team.

Yea, hammys are the worse thing to come back from. I know one year it plagued Champ a lot throughout the year where he was just not serviceable. Too bad, it couldnt of come at a worse time for Peyton.

The Madden curse lives.

What a putz. So the ol' "miscommunication" problem, eh?

Wonder if he'd be healthy if he got his money? Sounds like a Haynesworth mini-me.

Yea, because it's well known that MRI's show different results whether or not players are in contact negotiations.

I've said plenty against Hillis, and still maintain he's an average back...(would still argue that the trade made sense AT THE TIME (not now))...but I don't wish injury on anyone.

The Madden curse lives.

Worst player in the history of the Madden cover. This is what happens when you let fans vote...

Well there have been a lot more issues with Hillis this year besides this recent hammy injury. He missed a game with strep Don't think I have ever heard of a college player missing a game due to strep, let alone an NFL player.

Sounds like Hillis' attitude and actions have pissed off his teammates too because I have read several articles about how his teammates have confronted him. This was the only one I could find during a quick search but know there were others.

Although popular with Cleveland fans, Hillis has irritated teammates with his antics.

"Guys are growing tired of the distractions and always wondering what's next," one Browns player told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The problems began when Hillis chose to speak publicly about negotiations for a new contract with the Browns, talks that have since bogged down. Next came him missing a Sept. 25 game against Miami with strep throat on the advice of his agent, Kennard McGuire, the third agent to represent Hillis in the past year.

Players didn't doubt Hillis was sick, but when Pro Bowl center Alex Mack played a full game despite an appendicitis attack that required surgery the following day, it unintentionally made Hillis' illness seem trite. Hillis then hurt his hamstring on Oct. 16 against Oakland and missed the following game.

Last week, Hillis went to Arkansas to get married and missed a rehab session for his injured hamstring. He returned and practiced the next day, but aggravated his injury and sat out last week's game in San Francisco. Still, he managed to anger his teammates by standing on the field at Candlestick Park during pregame warmups and rifling footballs at the crossbar in a competition with third-string quarterback Thad Lewis.

. . . Hillis missed a scheduled appearance at a Halloween party for kids, blaming a "miscommunication" with his management team for the absence, apologizing and pledging to make it up to the children.

. . . .

. . . members of the Browns' "leadership group" confronted Hillis to talk to him about his erratic behavior. The meeting was first reported by Yahoo! Sports and confirmed for the AP by several Browns.

A player who attended the meeting described it to the AP as a "very positive conversation."

The player said the message to Hillis was: "If you're hurt, then work to get healthy. Don't have pregame quarterback competitions, missed treatments etc."
