Long has been rehabbing from surgery to repair his right ankle, which was seriously injured in the Nov. 13 loss to the Buccaneers in Tampa, Fla. Long suffered ligament damage and basically tore everything but his Achilles tendon.
Originally, he was scheduled to undergo surgery on his left shoulder earlier this month, but Long will focus solely on returning from the ankle surgery. The three-time Pro Bowl selection played through the shoulder injury, which was suffered in the preseason, for 10 games before the gruesome ankle injury, when he was rolled up from behind by fullback Paul Lasike on a shovel pass near the goal line.
Howie Long, Kyle's father, told the Tribune that his son struggled with medication when he underwent ankle surgery in Charlotte, N.C. Long lost 40 pounds, but part of that was by design in order to make his ankle recovery easier.
You can read the entire article on the link. Wonder if he'll be ready to start the year if he's down 40lbs, that seems pretty drastic to try and get back over the summer, while also trying to rehab the ankle, which is part of the reason(other was a bad reaction) you lost the weight to begin with.
Forget the Whitehair to OT, he might well be playing RG, at least through the offseason and TC. This might open the door to see how Grasu has developed as a OC.
