More from Hobbs
Cornerback Ellis Hobbs, who broke the scaphoid bone in his left wrist in a Sept. 24 game against Denver, held court with reporters in the locker room on Wednesday. He said he underwent surgery last Wednesday, and had a butterfly-type bandage in the area under his thumb.
Hobbs believes he injured the wrist when it made contact with one of his teammates’ helmets in the first quarter.
“I didn’t really feel it at first. The more I thought about it, the more it hurt. I just put it out of my mind until the end of the game, and then after the game, it hurt pretty bad,” he said.
As for where Hobbs goes from here, he described his approach this way: “Positive thinking and day-to-day. Am I hopeful? I’m always hopeful. I can’t rush it, but at the same time, I can’t baby it either. I’m always a guy who is going to push the envelope.”
Hobbs said he spoke with linebacker Tedy Bruschi, who suffered the same injury in training camp, but believes every player handles injuries in their own way and backed away from comparing their situations.
