Merged: Pouncey could miss First Half of Season

Looking more like no pouncey this year to me...what a freaking uphill climb we got with the oline
 
It's just speculation from a source, nothing concrete on him missing half the season

When Dolphins center Mike Pouncey went in for surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip, the best-case scenario for getting him back on the field was three months. In other words, he was likely to miss all the games in September.

Well, a source familiar with the center's surgery and recovery says it's more likely he will miss four months (from the time of surgery June 23). That would carry the rehab process through September and into late October.

"Eight weeks is probably what we're looking at," the source said today.

The Dolphins have a bye the weekend of October 4-5 so the regular-seasons' first eight weeks will cover seven games.

Every person is different, obviously. Some heal sooner. Some do not. Some have a higher tolerance for pain. Some do not. And Pouncey is said to be aiming for missing as little time as possible.

But the recovery is the recovery and missing only three games is looking unrealistic.

The Dolphins policy is not to comment on the injuries or recovery periods of their players. The team also in the past has threatened players with fines if they discuss their injuries or recoveries with the media.

So the best way to gauge Pouncey's recovery at the end of training camp will be to monitor whether the club puts him on the active roster or places him on regular-season PUP.

If the team puts Pouncey on the active roster, he will still be miss September's games as he continues to recover. But this will suggest the team is comfortable with him returning sometime before six games are played.

If the team places Pouncey on the regular season PUP this will prove the rehab and recovery from this surgery will extend beyond the initially hopeful three-month recovery period.

Yup, just another hurdle...a pretty big freaking hurdle, again. Hopefully Colledge can step up. It's one thing to have veterans on the oline, and it's another thing to have cohesion as a unit. That takes continuity through time and reps, and that we really don't have yet.
 
Facing flat scary interior dlines like the bills, jets, lions etc on the schedule too...only thing I can say is hopefully the backside will be clean and the qb can see the pressure coming from the 2 interior gaps and the right side if it does...lazor would be smart to run a lot of 3 step and rise and fire early this season til he sees how the replacement guys show...

Working long developing vertical pass plays may be a recipe for disaster...I'd try and let the qb face the defense as much as possible cause turning the back to the d and working off pa he may be getting rocked before he even completes his drop...sucks cause working off pa is a serious strength of the qb...

Of course working off pa requires a running game...and we got to find out if we got one of those also...
 
Pouncey to Miss First Half of Season

Looks like he wanted more time to party shirtless and geeked up til dawn at local nightclubs.

I'm starting to think the same. This has no basis in any kind of fact but, why did recovery time double after the birthday bash? Very likely just a coincidence.
 
When I heard about the injury I said odds good he doesn't play this year...if this is true about 8 weeks I'd bet money they would shelve him and put him on ir...probably at the bye week

I just have thought all along no pouncey this year...
 
So nothing has really changed from when he had the surgery? Sounds like just another medical opinion. Some said 2 months, some even said 5 months, so this really isn't anything new. Even the source of this "news" story covers itself by saying the team could carry him on the active roster in September. All speculation right now, we need to just wait and see where he is after the preseason.

Yea, couldn't agree more. With possible consistent pressure coming in from the A with a rookie G and Colledge at center, Tannehill has to be quick and effective with his decisions. Keeping the defense on their heels by forcing them to anticipate a quick play. We can only hope at this point. Don't want to get to a point in this season where we have to abandon 90% of the playbook because Tannehill is eating turf on every play and the run game is pointless.
 
I know it's all mostly speculation but, what does anyone know now that they did not before? I would have to guess that there had to be something new for anyone to write about it.

True story, tough to determine with certainty when he'll be back. As with pretty much everything during the offseason, it's all speculation and waiting and seeing really is the only way to know for sure when he can be back in the line-up. Still don't like the sound of our only returning piece to the O-line potentially being out until sometime in October.
