TV announcers said a hip injury. He pulled up lame while trying to block down field on Hunt's 50 yard reception run that was called back.

per Ganguli, he should be good to go for week 1. I'll wait for a post-surgery report, but that's a relief even as a potential outcome

I love this guy. He is seriously, to me, the other JJ Watt on this team. Such a badass and an anchor for everything we do.

He was already starting to decline, so I don't think anyone will have pie in the sky expectations. I'm just hoping that he comes back and plays decent ball for the next 2-3 seasons. I don't think that's an unreasonable stance to have, or one that's much different from the consensus.
