The Facts:
Until about 25 minutes remained in the first of a series of on-field coaching sessions, Joppru had run, cut and caught with great consistency. Then, in an unfortunately familiar scene, something went terribly wrong. Attempting to make a cut in the middle of the outdoor grass field, Joppru tumbled to the ground and clutched his right knee. Within minutes, Joppru had been helped off the field and loaded onto a cart, quite possibly the victim of a third season-ending injury in as many years.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Early indications are Joppru suffered a torn ACL, but general manager Charley Casserly and head coach Dom Capers are holding off on a specific diagnosis pending further tests. An MRI exam is scheduled for today. ... More as developments warrant, but Joppru, who missed the first two years of his career because of a groin injury, could have to wait another year to prove he was worthy of a second-round pick in the 2003 draft.
