The top story for the Houston Texans over the last 48 hours has been the history of Ed Reed's hip injury. John McClain, Texans beat writer for the Houston Chronicle, first made it known to the world-at-large:
"I wouldn't be shocked if the (Baltimore) Ravens knew he had a hip problem as he went through the season last year. . . . You don't tear your labrum just walking around. You know there's something wrong." (CBS Houston)
Florio titled his article, "Ravens suspected Reed had hip problem, Texans apparently didn't." This is a prodigious leap in judgment. It presumes the Ravens had prior knowledge of the injury, and the Texans were unaware of it when they signed Reed to a three-year, $15 million contract. All based on what a doctor speculated using his medical experience.
"You cannot see the labrum on a regular x-ray. The bottom line is, unless a player alerts you to 'I have a hip problem,' you're probably not going to get this unless you do a very sophisticated MRI of every part of the body and really look for this."
