Didn't Percy Harvin retire?
Considering he hasn't played a full season in three years...pretty much, yeah. Injury prone poster boy. I see nothing changing. I'm not afraid of Harvin as a Rams fan.
From one year ago:
In college, Harvin missed at least one game in each of his three seasons at Florida.
As a freshman in 2006, Harvin sat out one game and was limited in several others after suffering a high ankle sprain. The next season, he sat out spring camp because of an Achilles tendon strain and then went on to miss two games due to illness as well as ongoing migraine headaches during the season. He also left another game with a hip pointer.
His junior year was just as messy on the injury front, as he underwent surgery during the spring to fix a lingering heel issue that eventually limited the start to his 2008 season. Later, a sprained ankle forced Harvin to miss the SEC championship game.
The migraines have continued into the NFL, but Harvin missed just three games between his rookie season in 2009 and 2011.
While he dealt with nagging injuries to his shoulder, hip, ankle, ribs and hamstring during that time span, nothing serious came along until 2012.
During a November contest against the Seahawks, Harvin, who was already dealing with a hamstring strain, suffered a serious ankle injury. He ended up missing the final eight games of the season, including the playoffs, after being placed on injured reserve.
Might the injured reserve be on the horizon again for Harvin?
According to Will Carroll, Bleacher Report's lead writer on sports medicine, surgery for a complete hip labrum tear comes with a recovery period of three to six months. Dave Siebert, a fellow medical analyst at Bleacher Report, stated that labrum injuries rarely heal well without intervention, and frequently require surgery.
Even a minor surgery would likely hold Harvin out for the start of the 2013 season.
Of course, the second opinion will be the deciding factor.
If doctors feel he can rehab the tear without surgery, Harvin should have a chance to come off the active/PUP list and play in Week 1.
If surgery is needed, however, he'll be unlikely to play in the opener and potentially beyond that point.
Surgery for Harvin would be a big blow to the Seahawks, who have invested precious draft picks and guaranteed money into the dynamic receiver.
Nevertheless, Seattle—and anyone else who has followed Harvin's football career—knew he came complete with past injury concerns. There was always potential for this kind of news.
