Uh, Reggie, can you return kick-offs, too?
I may have missed it, but I didn't see the following news reported in ProFootballTalk reported by any of the local media:
Mathis Pulls a WinslowA league source tells us that Texans receiver Jerome Mathis is sporting casts on both hands and bandages on his wrists and arms due to a recent motorcycle accident.
The accident happened recently, and nearly a year to the day after Browns tight end Kellen Winslow auditioned for the role of Superman by flying over the handlebars after attempting a reverse wheelie. Winslow suffered far more extensive injuries, including a torn ACL that knocked him out for the 2005 season.
Per the source, the injuries to Mathis appear to be limited to his arms. The source added that Mathis looks like "a mummy from the elbows down" (which raises all sorts of interesting bathroom issues).
Mathis, who excels at returning kick-offs, was the only member of the Texans team to make the NFL Pro Bowl All-Star game this past season.

Nice catch, Tom.
I think you managed to shame the bigshot NFL columnist at the local Hearst daily into writing about the news today.
