Decker has hip surgery, with shoulder surgery later

Injured Jets wide receiver Eric Decker had hip surgery Tuesday, the team announced, and that was just part of the surprising news regarding Decker’s status.
Decker is on the injured-reserve list due to a shoulder injury. Per the team, the hip surgery was “deemed necessary” during an evaluation for the shoulder injury last week.
The team’s statement said the anticipated recovery time for the hip surgery is six months, and once Decker is off crutches he will then have shoulder surgery and have an eight-month timetable for recovery from the shoulder surgery. Those time frames aren’t successive; he’ll be off crutches in fewer than six months. Once that happens, he will have shoulder surgery.
Decker, 29, had nine catches, two for touchdowns, in three games this season. He’s signed through the 2018 season.

This story is annoying. Hip surgery recovery is six months but not all of that is on crutches. They really need to report how long he is expected to be on crutches.

I vaguely recall him staying out of OTAs for something or other and even last year something similar. So this must have been nagging him for some time

It's probably just a couple of weeks. In reality it just made the 8 month time frame for the rehab of his shoulder 9 months. But still, did the Jets just hire the Met's medical staff?!? _ |

Eh, if I go to the doctor t have my shoulder checked, and I wind up needing hip surgery, I'd find a new doctor, but thanks for the prostate exam, and you can keep the stool sample.

Let's say he's on crutches until mid-December. That would give him until mid August to fully recover from the shoulder surgery. He could obviously stay in shape, stay conditioned and will be rehabbing. The things he'll miss are really the football-related stuff....offseason pass-catching, mini camps, most of training Camp. I think he'll be ready by September.

I think he'll start training camp on the PUP and be ready to go by the time preseason games start. _ |
