Twitter: Donovan Wilson has a groin injury

[Doomsday101]

Groin and hamstring injuries are the worst. Seems once a player injures the groin or hamstring is continues to plague them since teams can't afford to allow the rest needed to fully heal.

but isn't short term IR at least 8 games minimum .. ? ... Half a season !

They revised it to 3 weeks. Not sure if that is permanent though.

Jerry can hook him up with a few "massage" therapists

Jeff Heath is ready to start.

Isn't he with the Saints now

Kazee?

most of them will be back by game 1 DW why week 5 we should be fine glad they got all that depth now..

I would think so too, except for all of the "He's a LINEBACKER!" talk coming from the Coaches. Also, if Neal is one of your starting LBs, which he seems to be right now; moving him hurts a bit more than promoting Cox.

not really Neal has been a ss before not big move cox is LB and should play LB..hes rookie tryig to learn SS would be too much of leap with eh season 10-12 days away..

i doubt this needs to happen with have Kazee, hooker an others that can fil in short term. They will be back..DW last back but shouldnt be long..

Tough blow for our secondary now, and not good sign to hear if he has to be helped off the field, sounds like this could be a lengthy injury at that.

Groin injuries are always bad news. Seems like guys come back, but are limited for the full season.

Darn! Donovan Wilson is our best SS. A groin injury is not good. Those groin injuries tend to linger or get re-aggravated easily.

Kazee?

We can't assume he will return in time. But hopefully so.

Was it always like that, or did it change when short term IR became a thing

Been like that for quite a while.
