The Associated Press: Colts' Vinatieri undergoes hip surgery

Looks like the ol' hip is wearing out on our old kicker now - Will probably have some type of effect on his kicks early in the season but we shall see.

The surgeon said he will be fine for the season. Where do you get it will effect him in the early season?

He'll be fine next season. He was never really powerful or accurate. Just came through in the clutch.

I'm not as surprised about Vinatieri having surgery as I was about hearing that Nick Folk had hip surgery—after all, Vinatieri is 36, while Folk is only 24.
