I'd hate to see a young guy paralysed by rushing back too soon. I know that young guys recover quicker, it just doesn't sound right. Surely this wasn't a fusion..??

Yep, the removed a disk, which means they either fused his vertebrae or put in an artificial disk. Either way, I don't think I would want to take the hits to the back that Tight Ends take on a consistent basis....
