I asked Ken wiebe about it in a DM on twitter. Here's his response
Good evening
I don't know the family issue but I assume it's serious.
Secondly, while I agree it's taking a long time to recover, I don't see this as a cover up.
Hip surgery Myers had was serious and I don't have a hard time envisioning a scenario where a player overcompensates for his hip and hurts or tears his groin.
Jets have been a bit too secretive for my liking but when Maurice finally relented to my questions and said it was a soft-tissue issue, I immediately thought it was his groin - though I'm not a doctor and I don't have confirmation.
I will continue to press for information on injury but my understanding is that it's not career threatening, though it is progressing slower than the Jets and probably Myers anticipated.
Something that seems to be overblown in my opinion is the brief skate he took in Tampa.
I was there and this was not a strenuous workout, he was on the ice and not doing much other than seeing how injury would respond, he did no drills and was working with jets strength coach.
So those who interpreted that as him being close to a return were not close to accurate, he would have needed a week or two of conditioning barring any setbacks and obviously he had one, since Maurice said today the healing of the injury is not progressing.
Will continue to monitor the situation and when I get more info, I will obviously share that info.
Enjoy your weekend.
