Bud Dupree's groin injury

If Dupree misses the rest of the pre-season, would anyone be surprised if his groin strain turns out to be a sports hernia, and he has to undergo surgery to repair it?

 

That would stink I think he's due to break out more this year.
But, I think you can get by with Moates, and I really like Chickillo more and more.
But, they aren't near good as Dupree can be.

 

I hope not, but I wouldn't be shocked ...

 

i don't feel comfortable talking about his groinal area.

 

I hope it doesn't come down to surgery. I really see Bud being a major factor for this defense this year. He showed already that he has the instincts to be a great player but with a groin injury it will definitely limit him. The only thing that can help right now is rest and relaxation.

 

If it was a tear he would have had surgery and would have been out for the entire year.


Back to the OP, it is most likely a grade two groin pull considering he rushed back to the field and was slated to be back by the Saints game... but his impatience cost him and, as a result, downgraded his groin condition.

 

I seriously doubt it's a hernia. I had hernia surgery, and you'd know you need it.... Some type of pull or strain would make a lot of sense.

I hope the kid gets better soon, he needs all the reps he can get. For a player as raw as he is, practice is so important. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a bigger setback than it already is.
