Vinatieri dealt with a knee injury throughout most of camp and preseason activities. He missed a good amount of time and there were a few rumors that he might miss the beginning of the regular season. But he healed up enough to be good enough to play in the third preseason game and when that went well was deemed "good to go" to play in the first regular season game.
There were reports early in the season that he was also dealing with a toe injury as well.
I always thought that these injuries were screwing up his mechanics and at least part of the reason he has been so inconsistent this year.
