Twitter: Malik Davis receiving hip surgery on Saturday

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.
