Oh This Isn't Good

"Sports hernia" has replaced "plantar fasciitis" as the innocuous-sounding injury we should most be afraid of. 

And it's back:

Wide receiver Kevin Curtis will "be out for a while" and will undergo surgery Thursday for a sports hernia, head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. Reid had no specific timetable for Curtis' recovery, other than that he expects Curtis back with the team during the regular season.

Curtis suffered the injury during last Friday's game against Carolina, and tried to play through it.

"We're trying to not wait and do that whole thing," Reid said. "We're trying to get on it. We've identified (the hernia) as the problem, and we're trying to get it taken care of."

Guys, we're not going to get Anquan Boldin.  Ain't happening.
