Hoping it's not a serious issue.

Giants can't catch a break 

That's killer for a rookie.  Starting camp on PUP makes it unlikely he will contribute in the 1st half of the season.

Looks like Jones will not be on PUP.

He might not miss that much time.  The reason teams start a player on PUP is that it gives them options should he suffer a set back.  He could potentially be back in a few days.

I'm not too concerned just yet. 

As Rich says, he could be back swiftly.

Rich, I think, posted something really interesting the other day about mid round TEs - almost none produce early in the season so, I wasn't expecting much this season.

If this was Bellinger, Id be very concerned. He needs a bounce back season.

Even if he is not out that long, missing some/all of camp and the preseason as a rookie is far less than ideal.

I'm curious also how he has a hip flexor injury already. I mean how did that happen?

We don't have the details, but this is sort of disappointing.  This is the sort of injury that Wellman (and the Barnes team) were supposed to be working on reducing


What causes hip flexor strains?
Hip flexor strains happen when you tear the fibers of your hip flexor muscles. Causes of hip flexor strains include:

Overuse: Repeating the same motion — whether at work or during an activity like playing sports — can lead to overuse syndrome.

Not stretching or warming up before exercise: Stretching before exercise gradually increases how much stress you put on your muscles.

A lack of flexibility: If you're not very flexible, your muscles (and the fibers in them) are tighter, which makes them more susceptible to strains.

Traumas: Traumas like falls and car accidents can cause hip flexor strains too, especially if you suddenly tense your muscles to brace for an impact or during a fall.

Thanks for this info Rich.

Since we don't know exactly what happened, I'll resist the very pressing temptation I'm feeling to point fingers, but this is precisely the type of thing that makes, at the very least, asking some serious questions about certain departments in this organization a more than reasonable thing to do, in my personal opinion.

That's it, we don't have details.  Although, based on what we know, in terms of causes, such an issue should be very rare on a team with a crack medical and training staff.

Was Ronnie Barnes anywhere near him?
