Reports say "at least" 3 months he'll be out, which means he's not expected back by the Week 1 game.

Pouncey out 3 months/ Hip Surgery
@AdamSchefter: Dolphins Pro-Bowl C Mike Pouncey underwent hip surgery today and is expected to miss at least three months, per ESPN sources.
5 new OL week 1.

I'm guessing the opening day starter at center will end up being Sam Brenner. I don't think as highly of the UDFA Larsen as some here do. Not that I think that highly of Brenner either but they liked him enough that they bypassed Dallas Thomas and put Brenner out at left guard as a rookie in 2013 so that's a pretty positive sign as far as what they think of him.

I think you should probably operate under the assumption he did something stupid until further notice.Phoenician Fan, GARDENHEAD, Eop05 and 2 others like this.

Or not.
Pouncey suffered the injury during the team's offseason program.

The "offseason program" could mean anywhere from February to last weekend.

Only, we have some important division games before then. All in all it won't really matter though...they have 16 like any other team does...just gotta git'r'dun.greyeagl53 likes this. -
That just narrows down the potential stupidity to team sanctioned time.

Tore the labrum in his hip "sometime during the OTA sessions".
-
Of course. Of freaking course.
-
Albert Breers says his understanding is the hip labrum was bothering him throughout the spring and he decided to get it taken care of, for long-term stability.
Translation?
No new contract, I'm not playing through this.Larryfinfan, Itsdahumidity, dirtywhiteboy and 4 others like this. -
Andrew Abramson reporting that the team felt the injury was "not serious" and thought he was fine during the recent mini-camp.
Evidently, Pouncey disagreed and he may now need to start the season the Physically Unable to Perform list, which means he would have to sit out at least until Week 7.

Regardless if that's a correct translation or not... I'm glad he's getting it taken care of. We need to make sure he's good long term, and sacrificing long term stability in his hip for a few extra games this season would be shortsighted and foolish. He's an important piece for our long term future... and we need to make sure he's right. Otherwise it'd be Jake Long all over again...sws84 and greyeagl53 like this.

He's becoming more trouble than he's worth if speculation is true. Not interested in giving him 10 mil/year, but we need him back asap for 2014.Bpk likes this.

Wtf!

Anyone remember good news, or nationally positive reception this team has gotten in the past 6 months? Anything since the Patriots win?

Really hope not. We can't keep getting rid of our best players.PhinishLine, Larry Little, Steve-Mo and 1 other person like this.

So, moving forward:
Center Options include:
1. Brenner
2. Larsen (short arms; rookie; inexperienced)
3. Shelley Smith (who was used at Center several times in the recent practices - if Billy Turner came on, that could further precipitate a move of Smith to Center).
4. Signing another player - Those listed as free agents in Sun Sent: Satele (Colts); Kyle Cook (Bengals); Velasco (Steelers); Gandy (Lions).
5. Trade.
- I could see us making a pre-training camp trade or signing one of these guys above to a small one-year deal. Would love to land new center and let Pouncey go. Great talent but such sketchy person.dirtywhiteboy, DPlus47, DOLPHAN1 and 1 other person like this. -
Love your optimism, Travis. Wish I could get there. Until we aren't coached by a buffoon, I have little hope. With or without Pouncey I expect this season to be rough.
I just hope injuries don't give Philbin another get out of jail free card.
Who am I kidding? Ross will probably keep him through his deal next year anyways with Hickey... -
after you call out Pouncey as this year's incognito? Pouncey is out because of an injury, not because he's a moron.
-
Really? I beg to differ. Pouncey is becoming this coming seasons No1 topic and not for the right reasons. Saying we were automatically going to lose against the Pats? Love your positive, almost crystal ball type predictions. Its no wonder we have this deep fascination and unwarranted scared mentality with the Patriots.
