Dolphins News: Frankie Smith Suffers Hip Pointer

*** DOLPHINS NEWS ***

Nov 07, 1995: -- Frankie Smith Suffers Hip Pointer --

USA Today is reporting this morning that Frankie Smith suffered a hip pointer in the win over San Diego on Sunday night. This was the only injury of note during the game.

Smith got the hip pointer when he collided with fellow Dolphin Pat Johnson on kickoff return coverage.

Smith had been promoted to the official nickel back position ahead of Terrel Buckley for his outstanding play, but this may sideline him for 1-2 weeks and make Buckley the starting nickel back once again.

My Comments:

A hip pointer is a deep bruise that can be very painful, but is not a serious long term injury. At worst, Smith will be out for a couple of weeks.

My guess is that he'll probably sit out the Patriot's game in order to heal and be ready for the 49ers on Monday night.
