Yeah they pretty much completely butchered that up.

That is a typo. He clearly said early in the season, if not the first game. They misheard.

They went off of what Terez Paylor tweeted. He meant to say the end of pre season

If he only misses camp after having surgery for a herniated disc in the midle of July it will be a miracle.

Reid said they're thinking hell be back by early season, whatever that is

Rub some dirt on it

Oh shit.

Umm....a herniated disc? Yeah, that's really REALLY not good. Big guys with back issues never really shake them. He'll feel a slight knot back there, possibly for the rest of his life. And if he gets turned in just the wrong direction, that wall that is supposed to hold the disc in (which is now compromised) won't, the disc will bulge and the spine will pinch on it. At that point he ends up with shooting pain somewhere in his body (depending on which disc) and usually the muscles around the area bunch up incredibly tight and won't release so now that all hurts like hell as well.

This is really REALLY shitty news.

This is the kind of thing that will linger and could significantly impact his career going forward.

Not a good start to camp. Im not TOO worried, as i think we have good DL depth. The Berry news is interesting.

3 month minimum recovery.

WE'REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I'm so mad about this that I'm going to neg rep everyone in the thread just because they were standing nearby when I heard the news.

A herniated disc is bad news.

bad backs and big guys can't be good news...and he still hasn't got his fat payday yet

Give it a break

I saw Berry last night. No way he's playing this year.
