Following a weekend of guessing and speculation, the New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb finally made a public appearance and confirmed that he did have a surgery last Friday to repair a sports hernia. Just as people guessed previously, Stinchcomb said the recovery should take three to four weeks.
"It's disappointing not to be able to work out with the rest of the team, especially heading into these first OTAs (organized team activities). But I'm just hoping for a speedy recovery. And the good news is that it's not the middle of the season, and I'm not gonna miss any games or anything like that."
The Pro Bowl right tackle returned to New Orleans on Saturday morning after having the surgery in Philadelphia on the previous day. As there are as many as 18 different versions of sports hernias, people previously had no idea what Stinchcomb’s problem was. According to the tackle himself, his lower abdominals seemed detached from the pelvic floor and some cartilage was repaired to solve the problem. However, Stinchcomb also told fans not to worry for him as his sports hernia was a typical one and the recovery would take no more than four weeks. So after missing the OTAs, Stinchcomb still has plenty of time to get back in shape before wearing back his New Orleans Saints jersey for the training camp.

Colts QB Manning is alleviating pain in neck
Having been NFL opponents’ pain in the neck for 12 years, the Indianapolis Colts star quarterback Peyton Manning now has to deal with the pain in his own neck- after having a surgery in Chicago to fix a pinched nerve, Manning is now in recovery from it and is expected to take part in offseason workouts in time and wear back Colts jersey for 2010 season.
“This condition has existed intermittently for the past four years, but at no time did it interfere with his training, practice or playing regimen,” the Colts said. “While it never has affected Peyton’s activity on or off the field, the Colts’ medical staff, after post-playoff examination, thought it best to resolve the situation now.”
Turning 34 year old in 2010, Manning has had two offseason surgeries in three years. The last one was in July 2008 when he had surgery twice on his left knee because of an infected bursa sac. Because of the surgery, Manning missed all of that year’s training camp and lost 10 pounds during his recuperation.
However, Manning still managed his record of 210 consecutive starts, including the playoffs and kept setting records for the Colts. With Manning being the starting quarterback, the Colts have made a league-high eight straight playoff appearances, reached the Super Bowl twice, winning it all in 2006, and set NFL records with seven straight 12-win seasons, 23 consecutive wins and 115 wins in a decade.

Jets QB will return for training camp despite knee surgery
The New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has been confirmed by his team to have a surgery to repair the patella ligament that holds the kneecap in place with a few weeks, and it is very likely that he can wear back the Jets jersey in time for training camp.
Being a starter in his rookie season, Sanchez has performed well enough to lead the Jets to the AFC title game against the Indianapolis Colts, although falling a win short of becoming the first rookie quarterback to start in the Super Bowl. Despite throwing 20 interceptions during the regular season, Sanchez had only two interceptions in the three postseason games he played for the Jets, and was one of the only two rookie quarterbacks who won two playoff games along with Baltimore Ravens Joe Flacco. His production in regular season was 2,444 yards and 12 touchdowns but with a dismal 63.0 quarterback rating, but his performance during playoffs seemed improved a lot- 41 of 68 for 539 yards with four touchdowns and a 92.7 rating.
Sanchez dislocated the kneecap during fall practice before his junior season at Southern California and aggravated the injury while playing against the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 29. He made the decision to have surgery after having both knees examined by team doctors last week and seeking a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. The repairing surgery will help prevent future tweaks to the kneecap area.
