Re: Saints place left tackle, Terron Armstead on IR
 

What scares me is hearing the word "hip" involved in this injury he's been battling. The dreaded hip injury has been misdiagnosed by our medical staff a few times causing guys to play through it and only make it worse (Keenan Lewis, Damian Swann, now potentially Armstead.)

From Rotoworld...

Saints placed LT Terron Armstead (leg, hip) on injured reserve.
Armstead suffered a setback in his return last week. He missed 6-of-13 games but was effective when healthy, grading as a top-15 tackle at PFF. Andrus Peat will close out the season on Drew Brees' blind side. Amsted should be fine for 2017 OTAs.

Hopefully, he'll be good to go by OTAs. I'm hoping we pick up some help for the O-line in the offseason through the draft or FA. As we saw in preseason, it takes some time for a line to gel. He's a beast when he's healthy.

I'm with you ... valid concerns.

The hip is a very complex joint with a ton of muscles so "hip" can mean pretty much anything. Doesn't have to be anything like the injuries to other guys. I'll guess we'll see.
