May 08, 1997: -- McDuffie Has Hernia Surgery --

According to a report on ESPN, Dolphins receiver OJ McDuffie had surgery to fix a double hernia yesterday. The surgery to repair bi-lateral inguinal hernias was performed in Tampa by Dr. Joseph Diaco, team surgeon for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who specializes in hernia surgery for athletes.

McDuffie is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in July, but will probably be held out of the mini-camp in June as a precautionary measure.

My Comments:

Ouch!

I suspect that the "groin pull" that McDuffie apparently suffered during mini-camp was actually his hernia. I'm sure that he'll recover fully and be ready for the season.

And actually, since McDuffie's spot on the team is pretty safe, this is a chance for the rookies to get some more work with Marino during mini-camp in June. That may make the difference for some of them in making the team.
