That would entail a fusion of 2 vertebrae. That is a very rare procedure for someone under the age of 40. It would also involve a lot more than 3 months of rehab.

It's more likely he had a piece of a disc removed, which is a very straightforward procedure with minimal recovery time.

If he did have a fusion, OJ Howard would be a very smart choice.

Hobspin doesn't overstate injuries. He only understates them. So if he says he had a disc removed, you can bet he had at least a disc removed.

Does not speak well for the length of his career, or for that matter, his blocking ability in 2017.
