Andra Davis has a torn labrum

Is it the labrum in his shoulder or in his hip? I just had the one on my hip repaired. The procedure isn't a big deal, but they put anchors in there and depending on how bad the tear is recovery can take awhile. Often times there is an underlying cause of the tear, such as a femoroacetabular impingement or a bone spur. If the underlying cause isn't addressed the labrum will just tear again when subjected to the force of playing professional football. Of course addressing the cause means an osteoplasty, which is more time recovering. If it's his hip it's very possible his season is over. Not something you want to grit your teeth and "man up" through, though, since the worse the tear gets the less likely they'll be able to repair it, and no labrum equates to a guaranteed hip replacement down the road.
