Vinatieri: ESPN Says Ankle is Broken, Then Changes Story...

This is a follow up to my recent story yesterday which can be found here. ESPN was reporting that Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri had indeed broken a bone in his ankle.

Then, ESPN edited their story and replaced these lines...

The Indianapolis Star reported Thursday that Vinatieri has a broken bone in his left foot, which he uses to plant before kicking.

According to the report, Vinatieri suffered the injury during practice August 14. The Colts are uncertain whether their newly acquired kicker will be available for the team's season opener against the New York Giants on September 10.

With these...

Colts coach Tony Dungy declined Thursday to elaborate on Vinatieri's injury, saying he expected a team doctor to give an update about the kicker's recovery Friday. Team spokesman Craig Kelly said Vinatieri had not suffered any broken bones and that he was recovering from a sprained ligament.

OK, what's going on here? The line from Vinatieri's mother has stayed the same however...

"That's what he told us about a week and a half ago," Vinatieri's mother, Judy, told the newspaper. "They sent him to a specialist. They found a small broken bone in his foot."

The original ESPN story, which has been edited and can't be seen on their site anymore, can be found here. It has all the original content. It originally said broken, now it says not broken. I don't know how it can change so fast.

My head hurts. More to come...
