Greg Hardy Misses OTAs after Undergoing 'Maintenance' Surgery

[nctarheel0619]

This hasn't been the smoothest offseason for Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy.

 

Finally back on the field three weeks ago following a misdemeanor assault charge, Hardy is now back on the sideline.

Coach Ron Rivera revealed Wednesday, via the team's official Twitter feed, that his top pass rusher is

undergoing "maintenance" on a minor leg injury.

 

Maintenance? That's a new one. Is Jiffy Lube checking under the hood while Hardy is on the operating table?

 

If it's a simple scope, Hardy could be back on the field for training camp.

i think it was understood.

I suppose, or the media is overreacting like they usually do.

I attempted to embed the tweet from the official Panthers twitter, but I guess it doesn't work on mobile.

Just kind of odd that they didn't specifically use that word if it was a surgery of some kind.

More than likely just a scope to clean out any loose cartilage in his knee. I'm due to get mine done again in a couple of more years according to my orthopaedist. T_T

I try to rub one out at least 3-4 times a week.

You know, because maintenance.

just one quote out of what was probably more discussion.

 

probably minor arthroscopic surgery getting some cartilage cleaned out which wouldn't take more than a day or two to recover from. neither rivera or gettleman are known for keeping quiet about stuff so i think if it was a bigger deal one or the both of them would have blabbed about it or at least said more.

 

i don't doubt that there was some surgery, i just don't think it's a big deal.

Surgery NOT confirmed. Newton speculating. I asked Voth and he said they never mentioned surgery.  Newton has since deleted the tweet.

3-4 times a week ??? Those are rookie numbers you need to pump those numbers up

tire rotation?  Oil changed? new spark plugs?

 

Just as I suspected.  He's a machine.
