As for the seriousness of Willie's injury I don't think players have surgical procedures during training camp unless they have a serious problem. When willie went to the Ravens it was as a back up. He only got to start because of an injury. Then he walked away from several million dollars and never played again after that season. "Crippled" may have been an extreme term, but I will 100% stand behind the claim that Willie had very serious injury issues that kept him from playing at an eliote level in '08 and also cause him to walk away from several millions dollars and retire.
You don't even know if it was a surgical procedure because procedures can be non-invasive.

Quote:Anderson did not undergo surgery, but rather had some manner of electroshock therapy by a specialist in Atlanta, designed to promote healing.
That was August 2007.
Do you have a source that indicates differently?
