One more Saints player had sports hernia surgery

Following tight end Jeremy Shockey, linebacker Jonathan Vilma, defensive end Will Smith, offensive tackle Jammal Brown and quite a few other New Orleans Saints players, Pro Bowl right tackle Jon Stinchcomb was a new name of the long list of Saints to have sports hernia surgery.

Actually the news has not been confirmed by the team officials, but Stinchcomb was absent from the AllFax Specialties Classic, a charity golf tournament for Children's Hospital at Beau Chene Country Club he was scheduled to host on Friday. His teammates and coordinators all gave the same explanation for his absence as the surgery. So we can take it as the fact, but there is no need to worry about his availability to team’s offseason programs, because recovery from a typical sports hernia surgery usually takes three to four weeks, and the Saints training camp is more than two months away on July 29.

Stinchcomb can even have plenty of time to participate some team workouts in June, but it’s unlikely for him to be allowed to do that as the team would definitely want him to be in his 100 percent before wearing back his Saints jersey for any on-field work.
