He was much older and more advanced in his career when he had it, however. Fred Robbins had the same microfracture surgery this past off season and looks like he is back playing near or at the same level that he was before the surgery. Maybe it depends on what the unerlying injury was. In Phillips case, the arthritis is very serious and I am less than optimistic about his complete recovery.<br /><br />For this year, C.C. Brown looked like he played pretty well last two weeks. Dockery played at CB this week and if Aaron Ross comes back, the Giants will have a surplus of CB's. If so, I would think about giving Ross or rookie Bruce Johnson some practice at S for the short term. Long term, sadly, I have to agree with you and think that the Giants should protect themselves at S. <br /><br />-wmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814176576934354769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937616333234364884.post-56976606345054349002009-10-03T09:50:08.668-04:002009-10-03T09:50:08.668-04:00Turns out that Phillips had microfracture knee sur...Turns out that Phillips had microfracture knee surgery this week. As an NBA fantasy junkie, my experience says that, in basketball, that is a two year surgery, with the player being able to play some, though not effectively, in year one. So the Giants now officially have a (somewhat) long-term safety problem. Considering the likelihood that will contend this year and next, they really need to acquire a vet who can bridge this gap.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607287288025069472noreply@blogger.com
