Twitter: Malik Davis receiving hip surgery on Saturday

[CalPolyTechnique]

Still don’t know what the specific injury is (other than it being a hip), but the way it’s been reported and the fact he had to have surgery that quickly tells you the severity/seriousness of it.

Why so soon with the surgery?

I thought the protocol was to wait a month or two?

Welp Demercado is the backup now. Have no idea if he is any good, good luck to him.

I did find out this much about the guy.

I think there was a solid chance he ended up passing Davis on the depth chart at some point anyway. It sucks for Davis, but we should be alright.

They got a second opinion that overruled Dr. Jerry.

I’m not convinced of that. I’ve seen Davis play a lot and know how good he is and he’s pretty good. Emari’s been here like two weeks

For those of us that watched Bo Jackson, hip injuries are scary.

I remember that well. Against the Bungles. He was having a great game. The sports world lost out that day. Though he continued his baseball career at a much lower level than before. Football was over.

*just looked it up 77 yards on 6 carries

Damn. Life is definitely not fair. Davis finally gets his shot to start the year on the roster with significant snaps and now his career is probably over.

Bo knows RBs don't come back from hip replacements.

That was my first thought. But if he comes back from this it'll make for that much more of a story. If not, there must be something else for him in life.

Well he’s out for the season so it must be bad

 

[Coogiguy03]

After telling him that they may not want him back on the PS? And now, the expectation is that he is promoted to RB2? That would be a bold move, lol

Be a bold move for him to put his pride down and get off the couch

 

[calicowboy54]

well, we are gonna sign a vet soon.

steve wonder GM is going to sign blue back.

 

[Praxit]

....well, thats bad luck fellas, he might never get back to 100%

Hip point is the gyrating mechanism for whole body. Its not isolated like, legs, feet, fingers etc..

Really sad.

If tomorrow is a travel day, wouldn't today be a walkthrough day?

Have no idea what kinda practice they ran for that type of injury to be sustained. I was super surprised to hear about it because I assumed Friday was a walkthrough.
