Percy Harvin had another MRI

theENGLISHseahawk · Nov 1, 2013

And it came back clear, according to Pete Carroll today.

But I guess this goes to show that they are playing this very cautiously after his hip flared up last week. I wonder if it just put some doubt in their minds about getting him back out there quickly. After all, they want him healthy for the long haul.

Just my guess... but I reckon we won't see Percy for a few weeks yet.

I agree, but I'm thinking that they may have had a MRI done regardless of the flare up,...just to see how the hip was doing before activating him,...

yikes...glad it came back ok. Yea, I would imagine he will be out for a while still.

I hope you're right, and the MRI wasn't because Harvin's having issues.

This is like a flashcack of 2011 where Baldwin and Tate are leading the receiving core. I'm glad we drafted them

Agree with ya HAM. Their working that socket and see'n if its enduring the stress. I think the MRI will be pretty common thru the rest of season.

While nobody likes to hear "MRI," it is a rather normal process in recovery for this "deep" of an injury. If it was possible to get an X-ray to diagnose recovery, that would be the case instead. MRI simply allows for a more in depth view of what's going on in his hip.

He's already way ahead of what was the original schedule. So, as frustrating as it is to not see our new toy, I'm all about a conservative approach to his recovery. It only makes sense with this type of investment and our current position in the standings.

I'd hope he would be having an MRI or two along the way after getting out onto the practice field again to see how everything is holding up, that seems like what you'd normally do doesn't it?

Well his hip was sore after working on it full speed, so this was most likely precautionary, to see if his hip was holding up. If it came back clear, it means he's just sore and not reinjuring it, which is good. If he practices full speed again this week, we might see him Atlanta game, or Minny after that.

He's going to want to play Minny, I'm sure of it.

Did you hear Pete say that they would just inactivate him once he joins the roster if he was still recovering from his injury? That tells me that Harvin is not close to being ready to play. My guess is that his first game will be against NO after the bye and it will be for only 10-15 snaps. It's not that Pete is being 'cautious', Harvin's hip is simply not ready for football right now.

Well, Peyton Manning took a whole year off (and then some) for his neck, now look at how he's doing.

It's like having a Christmas present sitting there, all wrapped-up pretty, and we can't open it until it's "time". Sucks, but it will be worth the wait to see him perform at his usual level, which is freakin awesome.

Crap the guy had surgery on his hip ffs. He's going to be sore when he goes full speed. I would imagine the MRI is standard practice with something like this. Put some miles on it and see how the tread is holding up.

Here is the actual quote. It just tells me they remain cautious as they have the entire time:

"If he was on our team and was banged up, we certainly wouldn’t mind keeping him as one of the inactives. If that’s what it winds up a few weeks from now that’s what it is. We’re hoping to get him back. He was fine a week ago and was ready to go it was just the wear and tear of the comeback just got to him a little bit so we just needed to slow him down."

He was sore the other day. They wanted to see if he was sore from practicing or sore because he had rehurt his hip.

Glad it was the former.

imnKOgnito · Nov 1, 2013

I understand the need for continuity and working out kinks 'in game', but I'm of the opinion that it wouldn't be the worst thing to try to get through the next three games unscathed, take our bye week, and spring Harvin on NO and then SF with them having little to no game tape to prepare from.

With Rice out, though, not sure if we have that luxury. Might see how Kearse responds this week.

This makes sense. We all wanted sooner, but to play it safe I think this is everyone's best bet.

Bottom line....there are some players who can "play through" joint pain and discomfort....others cannot. How do you think Russell Wilson is feeling after taken seven sacks last Monday? I would imagine that a majority of NFL players who play every week probably have some joint discomfort somewhere in their body. If you were to ask Les and myself, we would tell you that we have serious joint pain at times....and we ain't playing football being slammed into the ground every Sunday!! As I heard a radio sports commentator say today, "There isn't any guarantee that Percy Harvin can stay healthy the rest of the year". We'll find out if John Schneider spent millions for "fragile goods".

X-rays for bone..MRI for soft tissue.

He's likely had several MRIs by now. The benefits two fold: 1) They can see the site of the surgery and monitor the healing 2) Unlike with a migraine, they can determine, to a degree, whether he's actually in pain or not. So expect to earn your money soon, Mr. Harvin. ; )

I would not count on him being a major impact this year. Seems Harvin pushed to get back once he was eligible but the original prognosis most likely will hold true.

King Dog · Nov 1, 2013

I don't care if his hip hurts. Get him out there by week 10, 11 or 12. 13 at the latest. If he reinjures it, big deal. He will be ready for next season. We're not going anywhere without him with Sidney out. Russ is getting killed. No respect for our WR's by other teams.
