Did Hopkins shred his hamstring?

If you're juiceless, you're useless
It's one of the knocks on him. Extremely fragile for a kicker. I mean, ya just ran down the field. Once.

Yup, history of hamstring and groin injuries. He got this one trying to make a tackle on the KO returned for a TD in the HOU game

He was just doing his job. 10 other guys not doing Their primary job.
he's missed some games but not that bad imo

I know you can’t take competitiveness out of an athlete but his job is to kick field goals. Not tackle!
His absence hurts a million times more than those 6 points!

That’s not a him problem, he’s more important to the team to tackle!
Let the coaching staff deal with incompetence.

I kind of feel for K or P in those situations. They make no effort, probably feel like it's letting the team down (don't know what the coaches say in film review). Likely mocked on TV for the no effort. So they go try, then quickly find out they can't do that. I personally subscribe to the the theory that the most they can/should do is get in the way in the hopes of slowing down the returner so someone else can make the tackle. Same for a QB when they throw a pick.

That's a lot of games for a kicker. But I was more the history of the hamstring and groin issues costing him time. Missed game to several games almost every year with same things.

Right, not tackle or chase anyone down!

Yup. I don't think it's a good idea for a K, P, or QB to do either of those. Rarely anything good comes out of it for the K, P, or QB. Good old Dawson tried it once. Learned his lesson.
