This was reported as something that was going to happen before he even signed.
Although I believe the "hip" part is wrong. I'm pretty sure it's his shoulder.
Did he already have the surgery?
If not, why wait so late to have it?
If I remember correctly, he actually had major hip reconstruction some years ago. No mention if this recent (last week) arthroscopic surgery was on the same hip.
Is there any reason why thpley'd wait until the tail end of the off season to do this surgery?
Ugh, I already bought my OTA playoff tickets too. Non-refundable even!

Doc, this doesn't sound good. I know Reed is not the player he was a number of years ago but this sounds like something that is normally career ending for most. Is he more susceptible to a career ending hip injury now or is his hip stronger since the surgery and it's a non issue?
One reason why the Ravens didn't sign him.
You know they offered him almost as much money as we did, right?
Yeah but they didn't go more.
I had arthroscopic hip surgery in Aug. 2009 for femoral-acetabular impingement and articular and labrum tears in my right hip. I was on crutches for 2 weeks and rehabbed for a month. I felt better the day after surgery than the day before. I'm not overly concerned about Reed's surgery. I would let him rehab it till training camp or longer. Reed is a smart veteran that can learn the defense from the sidelines.
Did Reed conceal this injury?Following Ed Reed's recent hip surgery, we got the "minor" and "will be ready for camp" routine. This ignored the fact that Reed turns 35 in September and he had surgery on his hip. It's always minor when it's someone else.
A few days after the news first broke, the Houston Texans are already sounding more realistic. Owner Bob McNair admitted Monday that Reed might not be ready until "the middle" of training camp, according to Nick Scurfield of HoustonTexans.com.
Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips admitted he's a "little concerned" with Reed's surgery because of the timing. Reed didn't undergo surgery right after the season, presumably because it wouldn't be a good look as he searched for a new team in free agency. The delay could wind up costing Reed the entire OTA/minicamp season in addition to a chunk of the preseason.
Reed has been a very durable player throughout his career, but there's reason to think he'll only last one season in Houston.

Did Reed conceal this injury?
Is this an reocuring injury?
Where do the Texans go from here?
Sign another vet?

Kubiak on Ed Reed (hip): "We didn't expect it, but it started bothering him. That's when we got aggressive in what we needed to do"
Didn't we do a physical on him?
Hate to say I told you so but ....

That sounds like it was a known issue that wasn't bothering him when we did the physical. Then after we signed him, he started having some pain or something and so we jumped on it aggressively.
sigh
"They had to go in and reconstruct my whole hip. They took about 6-7 inches from my IT band, replaced my labrum that I tore. They went in in two spots, so I mean it's a slow process. Plus I have other injuries that, you know, really probably had an effect on causing this that I have to pay attention to also. So I'm just taking my time.
"I played the last couple of games with a torn labrum and just messed my hip up worse, you know, going back out there and doing things the way I was able to do things," he said
Hate to say I told you so but ....
JJ Watt did pretty well without playing in preseason last year.
Cushing too in his rookie year...
Tony. Boselli.
Cushing and JJ were not a 105 years old.
You can be sure that if his hip was bothering him in April, it was bothering him at the end of the season. Whatever pathology was there at the time of surgery was there at the time we signed him.......and at a time that he would have supposedly had a "thorough" evaluation by the medical staff. He had a major hip labrum reconstruction in April 2010..........having had problems for at least 6 months prior to giving into the surgery. His injury required an iliotibial band graft. For those that dont understand the implication of the use of this graft, it is used to reconstruct large absent/unsalvageable portions of the labrum........meaning that the labrum was destroyed and could not be simply cleaned up/trimmed and tacked back down to the underlying structures (which is the most common type of surgery required).
From June 25, 2010:

It is not a good sign that the same hip required ANY further surgery. Approximately 75% of those returning for arthroscopic labral tear/revision result in the findings of additional significant cartilage damage. Keep in mind that studies have found that anywhere from 1 out of 4 to 1 out of 3 of those undergoing major hip labrum reconstruction go on to require hip replacement by 4-5 years following their initial INJURY not surgery.
All we can realistically do at this time is hope for the best.

It's the other hip..
“He has had this issue on the other side before, so once it started happening, that's when we got aggressive in what we needed to do to get him ready to play this season."

Beginning to sound like we got taken to the cleaners a bit on this.
One of the benefits of having Reed in the fold was supposed to be his mentoring our young guys. Now it sounds like he won't be around to do that, perhaps until middle of training camp. That's a lot of missed opportunity for "Coach" Reed's contribution.
So when do we get to start callling Ed The Six Million Dollar Man?
