Bills | DiGiorgio to miss season with a knee injury Sat Jul 25, 12:46 PM
John Wawrow, from the Associated Press, reports Buffalo Bills linebacker John DiGiorgio will miss the season after having surgery to repair bone damage in his right knee. DiGiorgio had surgery two weeks ago in Vail, Colo., his agent, Chris Murray, told The Associated Press on Saturday. Murray said the surgery went well, but that DiGiorgio isn't expected to be fully healthy until January.
Footballguys view: DiGiorgio had a great run as a surprise solid IDP in 2007 after Paul Posluszny went down, and he would have been poised to do it again in the event of an injury to Posluszny this year. This news means former KC linebacker Pat Thomas should have a good chance to win the backup MLB job. |

Bills | Hardy, DiGiorgio could start camp on PUP Thu Jun 11, 01:48 PM
Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills head coach Dick Jauron said WR James Hardy (knee) and LB John DiGiorgio (knee) could start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Footballguys view: This isn't the way Hardy wanted to start his pro career. He's lost his #81 to Terrell Owens, and now he's losing position on the depth chart. Hardy has always lacked quickness of the snap while showing only adequate acceleration. Unless he comes back from this knee injury correctly those problems will only be magnified. |
