#Seahawks WR Percy Harvin said besides hip he had a tumor removed and appendectomy since last played football so return was emotional.

I did not know that. Wow, what a return for him.

Wow wth? Guess he couldn't just tough it out and play huh?

 

[Throwdown]

That is insane

 

[rightbench]

he said the apendectomy was just after he went on IR last year. Didn't say anything else about the tumor. His presser is up on .com

Because other ppl's medical records is none of our dam business.

Lot of players keep this type of info hidden. Otherwise folks will target them once they are back playing. Only tell them what you have to.

They had to cut a lot of muscle when they removed my appendix. I had to retrain my hip afterwards. Mine was 30 years ago so the surgery has probably changed but this news does explain a lot.

Certain things should remain private until the affected person chooses different.
