With Ryan Fitzpatrick placed on IR and expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks with a right hip subluxation, is it Taylor Heinicke’s time to claim his role as the franchise quarterback the Washington Football Team has been waiting for?
According to Dr. A. Brion Gardner at The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics, the best-case scenario for Fitzpatrick would be if his hip popped out 50% and went right back in, without any cartilage or labrum damage.
The worse case would be an injury that caused a tear in the labrum, which would lengthen his recovery time.
