Maybe, we aren't privy to the medical reports, but I think it has more to do with his size, and I think some teams may regret their stance.

It sounds like Landry hurt his ankle on special teams. And it was indeed the same ankle from college.

Does anyone else notice a correlation between ankle injuries and pass rushers with great bend? Feel like I've heard about it quite a bit. Would definitely make sense. Guys that big putting that type of pressure on such a weak part of the body seems dangerous.

Haley had back problems, Fred Dean had knee problems. I think every body part that is stressed in a pass rush is going to be in danger of being injured. Each player will have different issues, I would think, simply because they are different.

The guy is just hurt at the moment, once he gets healthy, a pass rusher is a pass rusher by nature..

Oh man, I was rewatching the Colts game and on punt coverage, Hightower had Witherspoon out in a gunner against two and was thinking, "God, if he goes down b/c of ST, esp. in a pre season game, I'll be livid."
Did Landry have a chronic ankle injury hx in college?

Yeah, that would suck.
AFAIK, Landry only had an ankle injury in one year, so I wouldn't call it chronic. However, it may be chronic now.

I saw that...always hated seeing key guys out on special teams...especially in preseason as you said.

Landry has been very active. The Texans might have the worst OL in the league, though. Landry is going up against a backup LT, and their first team LT wasn't any good.
