I am not an Orthopedic Surgeon, as I assume most of the rest of you are not either, but I did read a couple articles on the procedure when it came out he was having it done last year. This was not some "regular" procedure where they can tell you how long rehab will take and you're almost guaranteed to come back the same. There is the real possibility that we never see him again, or if we do, he is a shell of his former self.
Which, if that is the case, this team needs to invest a high round draft pick in a linebacker next year (possibly multiple picks). The mentality seems to be that they can take bottom tier guys and get by with them (even Burfict was an UDFA and a gamble if he would ever pan out). Because of this mindset, the linebackers seem to be the weakest link on a very strong football team.
