Percy Harvin Zone

The Gators held their annual Spring Orange and Blue game on Saturday, this time it was televised on ESPN2 for the whole nation to see. There was only one thing missing from the game. Percy Harvin!

I really would have liked to see Percy in action, but I guess it’s more important for him to full recover from his injury. Don’t expect to see Percy in any summer practices or drills. He’ll being practicing in August I hope and be ready for the opening game in September.

Florida wide receiver and master of the open space Percy Harvin had heel surgery Monday and is expected to be ready for fall practice. Great news to all Gator fans. A complication would have been devestating!The surgery was performed by foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson at the Orthocarolina Orthopedic Clinic in Charlotte, N.C.

The Gators hope the surgery will relieve years of pain in Harvin’s right heel, which has bothered him off and on since his high school days in Virginia. I can’t believe that Percy is just now having the surgery if he’s been in pain for so long. If the surgery is simple why did he not do it in the past? Anyways, good luck and get well Percy!

It’s official. Percy Harvin will undergo surgery on his heel this week.

“It’s not a career-threatening injury,” Florida head coach Urban Meyer said Friday. “It’s a very minor surgery, probably an eight-week recovery and then he’ll be full speed for offseason. They’re saying in June we should be able to get him cranked up, for sure July.”

Renowned foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson will perform the surgery, so it looks like Harvin’s in good hands. Harvin hopes that the decision to go through with this will put an end to years of heel pain.

Things are not looking good for Percy Harvin. A report in the Florida Times Union is saying that Percy Harvin might require surgery to help fix his injured heel. Thankfully, Meyer isn’t predicting the surgery to affect Percy’s ability to get on the field for opening day. Here’s what the article had to say:

Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin’s right heel injury might require surgery, and while physicians are still trying to determine the proper treatment, Gators coach Urban Meyer said it doesn’t appear the ailment will affect the player’s status for the 2008 season. Meyer said Monday that physicians, including a foot specialist in North Carolina, who have treated Harvin should have a plan within the next several days.

“It’s unique,” Meyer said of Harvin’s heel problem. “Not many guys have ever had this. The MRI showed that it’s a significant injury, and they [the physicians] want to make sure they do it right.”

Meyer said he didn’t know the exact term for Harvin’s injury but that it’s a bone issue. It’s something that Harvin, who will be a junior in the fall, first noticed in high school, and it really began to bother him last summer, Meyer said.

This is such a bummer. We really had high hopes for Percy and it would suck if he faces setbacks or anything like that and the season hasn’t even started yet.

Percy Harvin had another great practice on Friday and over the weekend. Here’s what Gator Country had to say about it:

This group is so talented I think I could coach them to be All-Americans. Percy again made the difficult look easy almost all day today. He faked a couple of the best corners out of their underwear in seven on seven and one on one drills.

Percy also burned Freshman cornerback Janoris Jenkins for a touchdown.

The Gators put the pads on for the first time on Saturday. Percy looked as natural as he always does. I know he’s primed for a huge season in 2008. There’s no doubt in my mind that he’ll be going pro after this year, so he’ll put everything he has into it. Hopefully Heisman type numbers.
