Harvin - "ailing hip"....(labrum)

[theENGLISHseahawk]

Carroll has conceded Harvin may need surgery.

Get ready. That sounds like he's preparing us for the worst. Are you ready to not have Harvin this year?

Day one of bliss over, back to angst and consternation among the fans. Football is back. Vikings fans chuckling and high-fiving across the land. Good stuff.

Were Smelly and English listening to the same press conference...those last two posts are very different?

For everyone crying about more information.

-Pete said in his conference that the injury was something thats been there since OTA's
-He was working out hard through it just 2 days ago
-They need to find out more about it next week and take the correct action from there
-Surgery could be a possibility if thats what doctors say. For now, he has no idea.
-More to come next week about it
-He didnt seem overly concerned

Ok, either way our recieving core is strong without him, providing Harvin is going to miss some time, let's hope Harper can step into the limelight and have some success fairly quickly as our #4.

Looks like he is starting camp on the PUP list.

The Seahawks announced Thursday that Harvin was placed on the physically unable to perform list for the start of training camp. Sources say there is concern over Harvin's injury.

He answered a loaded question that was asked if Harvin did need surgery. He said he didnt know and if thats whats required, then tahts what they will do.

From a medical perspective....

A traumatic hip labral tear is usually an acute injury as a result of a sports injury, fall, or accident. Hip labral tears can be seen in association with episodes of hip dislocation or subluxation. They are commonly associated with sudden, twisting maneuvers that cause immediate pain in the hip.

Here's what we don't know:

1. Does Harvin have a "slight tear" in his labrum?

2. If he does have a tear, is it something he is capable of playing through this season or would it necessarily require surgery?

3. If he does have a tear and is capable of playing without surgery, is he WILLING to delay surgery and play through the injury this year?

I hope it's nothing serious. Just a way to skip training camp. Even if he's out due to surgery, Baldwin and the Rookie Chris Harper will probably make up any loss of production from Harvin. Plust Tate and Rice are very good depth for the WR corps.

I know I'll get crucified for saying this, but is Harvin the type of guy to play hurt now that he has gotten paid? I've read that the team wants him to play through the injury, but he wants a second opinion, which could mean a lot of things, but is also routine I guess. I bet Vikings fans are just loving the trade right about now.

 

[Pick6]

Whats the average recovery time for injuries such as this after surgery?

 

[mikeak]

If you play in a league where you can be cut any day then I would also get a second opinion when the TEAM doctor said I could play.

Ironic considering A-roid got a "second opinion" since the team doctor said he couldn't play

I had hip surgery in 2010 after suffering a labrum tear in 2006 doing PT while active duty. The year was roughly two inches and I was down from August to December from doing any running or lifting. If he does require surgery he is done for the season. Again, if.

 

[FargoHawk]

I want Harvin NOWHERE near KO returns this season.

They wont be liking that trade when hes a 1000 yard receiver this year with 600 of them being YAC.

Your wide receiver core may be fine, but IF he is on the PUP list to start the season, I think this really hurts your ST/return game, especially after letting Leon Washington go.

ESPN's @AdamSchefter on #Seahawks WR Percy Harvin's hip: "When you spoke to ppl this afternoon about this injury, they sounded concerned."

Considering how this same group of WRs (sans Harvin) performed pretty damn admirably down the stretch last season, yeah... I could live with it.

The good news is that we didn't let any WR go or trade anyone away in order to get Harvin. The offense we had last year is the offense we would see this year. And that offense was still one of the best in the NFL in the second half of the season last year.

It would suck to lose Harvin, no doubt. But it's not like the Offense is dead. We would still have the same starting WRs we had last year and they were good.

agreed, who's next to do the return duties if Harvin is out? Lane?
