This could be bad news. Thomas did play through the injury, but you never know with injuries to joint areas. Getting a second opinion isn’t strange for these types of injuries as noted by Dr. Chao.
Not necessarily a surprise. Many more MRIs done & sent for 2nd opinion as a routine than ever reported in media. https://t.co/oP3KNscp8W

Thomas came up hurt after this pass, which he climbed the latter to receive and was hit hard in the hip area. The positive thing here is that Thomas did play the rest of the game and made some big time catches, so hopefully this is more precautionary than anything.
