The Seattle Seahawks were aware that Percy Harvin had a 40 percent change of needing hip surgery at some point in his career before they acquired him in a trade this offseason.

Harvin hadn't appeared on an injury report with a hip issue since Weeks 2 and 3 of the 2010 season.

Every NFL team that examined Harvin at the combine in 2009 knew he had impingement and tightness in both hips as well as weak abductor muscles.

"(We've) got to fix him up and take care of him," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, told the NFL Network on Wednesday. "We have a big commitment to Percy. We want to make sure he's 100% and ready to go."

Harvin also missed practice time at the University of Florida in 2008 with a hip pointer.
