Harvin Still Hasn't Had Surgery

Percy Harvin continues to delay the necessary surgery he needs that will clean up some bone spurs in his shoulder. Even though it will be a "relatively simple" procedure and he's known he should do it for more than a month now, he hasn't done it.

His latest "reason" (excuse) is that he now has a family emergency to deal with. I don't doubt that he needs to do something for his family now, but I'm not quite sure why the surgery wasn't done weeks ago before the emergency arose.

This is starting to remind me of the Sidney Rice surgery delay a couple of years back. Sidney kept putting off the surgery so long that he missed most of the season. Simple procedures should be done as soon as possible so that maximum healing time can take place before training camps begin.

I'm talking about this now because I have a bad feeling that this is going to cause problems later. The longer surgery is delayed the longer it will be before the Vikings have Percy's services.

Imagine if the Twins had taken Scott Baker's arm problems more seriously after LAST season instead of waiting for the beginning of this season. There's a time to heal, it's called the "off-season" for a reason.
