Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin will have surgery on his injured hip, he announced via Twitter Wednesday. Harvin's tweet did not give any information on a possible recovery timetable, though Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network speculates that he may be out three to four months.

Harvin's exact injury is not currently known, but when Harvin was initially placed on the PUP list, it was reported that he may have suffered a partially torn labrum in his hip. At the time, Harvin sought a second opinion on the injury in the hopes of avoiding surgery.

If his recovery time is near the three- or four-month mark, he could still return and play this season, and the Seahawks will certainly have some decisions to make regarding his roster spot. NFL teams can now place a player on injured reserve with a return designation following the sixth week of the regular season.

The loss of Harvin for any significant amount of time definitely hurts the Seahawks, who gave up a first-round pick to acquire him in a trade with the Vikings during the offseason. Harvin was to be one of quarterback Russell Wilson's primary targets. More pressure will now fall on Sidney Rice, Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin.

At least he's not whining over a headache.

Nope. He shared the migraines with all of Seahawk Nation

Harvin is an incredibly talented player that just so happens to be made of glass.

No joke. It's such a bummer. 1st round pick and $25 million. I have total confidence that we will be fine with the receivers we currently have (you're familiar with Golden Tate right Bill?) but that 1st round pick is a big deal and the $25 millions will break up this receiving core come free agency...

Tough break... He was an MVP candidate for the first quarter of the 2012 season, but like Bill said he's an IR stint waiting to happen.

When did he suffer this injury? Recently?

Never liked this move by Seattle. Yes, Percy Harvin is an electric player, but he is not a franchise #1 WR in my opinion. Injury prone, not a top-15 NFL WR, kinda small, but yeah incredibly exciting. In his defence, he hasn't had a decent QB in some time.

More time to cut the sleeves off his t-shirts oh so perfectly.

[Nucking Futs]

Not surprised.


He sure is fun to watch when he's actually on the field playing.

Can someone show me how to do that?

Golden Tate...isn't he the guy that was awarded a game winning TD on a play that was clearly an interception for the other team?
