Quick injury update: Kayvon Thibodeaux's mystery injury this spring was a "tweaked hip," per source. It's considered minor, so I'd expect him to be ready for the start of training camp.

The Giants were excessively cautious with injuries during the spring — have heard that a number of "red jersey" players had minor injuries. We'll find out at the start of camp which spring injuries were more serious.
Fingers crossed on the injuries this year ....

It has to start turning for us soon? We have been at the short-end of the injury stick for to long.
I'm glad they were excessively cautious at the OTA's.

There was no need to push anyone at this point in the offseason. Hopefully we'll see a lot fewer red jerseys once training camp begins, although I do expect a few guys to start out on the PUP list, like Gates, Peart, and Shepard.
They get a few weeks off to chill, heal up, stay in decent shape and

I know I'm not the only one who bought into Judge's old school hard practice mentality, and we know how that ended. Hopefully Daboll and staff's approach works.

As much as I'd love to see everyone practicing, I can see the value of focusing on getting guys healthy for August
With lucrative careers at stake...

... players who know they are on the bubble will naturally be inclined to go full speed at all times, trying to make the best possible impression. The staff seems to have gotten the message across that competition doesn't start until camp, and that during OTAs and minicamp players were being judged primarily on their ability to learn and convert that learning to performance.
As a guy who just got another cortisone shot in his hip last week...

I'd love to know just what, exactly, a "tweaked" hip is. Every time I hear about a hip injury, I can't help but think of Bo Jackson.

Hip flexor injuries are somewhat common.

Do they linger? Are they chronic? Is this something the team will have to "manage" throughout the season? It's very worrisome to me.
Go ahead and say it, Eric.

You are asking me to answer questions that I can't possibly know the answer to as I don't know what is actually going on with KT.

Hip injuries are not uncommon on NFL injury reports. They usually are not a big deal.

honest, I would have been more worried if it was his ankle again. When they said he was "rolled up", I assumed it was his old ankle injury.

A while back, ESPN did something on Bo- not sure if it was a 30 for 30 or not, but in that piece they had a doctor explain why Bo’s injury was so unique and why it would have only happened to him.

Thus, going right to Bo with nay injury is an overreaction and not informed.
If this goes awry

Bo Jackson actually had a cracked hip socket that the Raiders misdiagnosed as a hip flexor. The hip socket bone actually ended up dying because of lack of blood flow.

Pray that KT doesn't have that situation. And hopefully this regime is not like the prior regimes where the Giants doctors misdiagnosed and/or had a player come back too soon just to aggravate the injury so that it's much worse.
I think the point is the Giants recognize that

hip injuries can recur if not treated properly, and they were wise in their recommendation for him not to participate when it was unnecessary. Hip injuries are one of those things a lot of players just suck up and play through, and it can result in a greater frequency of recurrence.

Tweaked hip on most teams

is 3 weeks.

On the Giants, it's 3 months.

I fully expect our stars to play 1 or 2 games together tops. Giants can change coaches and players all day long. If they dont get on top of the massive injury problem they will never compete in the nfl again. It will be a dead franchise like the lions.

I don't think injuries really matter with this team ... The Giants are the ones who have gotten beaten up when the OTHER team is injured.

We still have the same QB, RB, WRs ...

They matter but so do the coaches that put players with talent in a position to win. I don’t think it’s fair to evaluate anyone on this team based on the last two years of play under a Joe Judge system.

The levels of angst and lack of rational thinking displayed here are, while not unexpected, still somewhat unnerving.

A player gets injured taking part in extremely physically-demanding and violent activities where injuries (large and small) are the norm, not the exception. But in this case, the player is "injury prone," and is promptly dismissed as an afterthought.

All this with no meaningful knowledge of the situation, the prognosis, nor the player's ability to play through problems. Non compo.

I don't know the extent of the players injuries but I do know when they ain't practicing or playing on game day it isn't a good thing.

And yes we have been hit hard by the injury bug. Some say its our stadium turf which is rough. Others say our training techniques need updating.

I just know I pray for health.
