Paul Posluszny Had Shoulder Surgery, According to Report

by Adam Stites on Jan 26, 2012 5:58 PM EST in Jacksonville Jaguars News

Earlier today Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union reported that Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny had surgery on Jan. 11 to repair a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder. The injury, suffered in the final game of the regular season for the Jaguars against the Colts, was the only injury suffered by Posluszny all year who has struggled with injuries early in his still young career.

The surgery is expected to keep the linebacker out of offseason activities although he expects to be back in time for training camp. He told Ganguli:

"The only thing it’ll screw up is a training schedule," Posluszny said earlier this month, before he had the surgery. "When I’ll be able to get back into training 100 percent, but other than that it shoudln't be [a problem]. I don’t have vacations planned so it should be ok."

A labrum is a long recovery, but it is not an injury that should inhibit or slow Posluszny down once he returns to the game in August. The Jaguars credited him with 192 tackles on the season with two sacks and two interceptions.

That's a shame about the surgery.

We really need Poz healthy, he’s one of the big reasons our defense improved.

Labrum

Tears are a bitch. Tore mine in spring practice of last year, doctor brought me back too early and played 8 games on it, and the damn thing still isn’t right almost 6 months post op.

I'm Glad

You know so much about it Dr. Rhett.

I had what they call the “slap” surgery, which is the newest procedure for it and pretty much the only procedure for it. I’m sure he’ll be getting the same thing. I’m also sure the doctor will better advise him on rehab than did mine.

He is a great player

and as long as he takes it slow, and works it out, he’ll be fine.

I am not too worried

I just hope they do not rush him back or anything. make sure he is 100% before bringing him back fully

I’m just glad to finally have some news about the injury. It was obviously not just a stinger.

He’s a beast and I’m sure they recognize that and will bring him along slowly. I agree with the first comment, he really makes this defense tick. Frees up Smith to do what he does so well.

It sucks

To know we had any players hurt against the Colts. But it damn sure feels good to be able to say “We beat the Colts,” no matter the circumstances. Hopefully we will be saying that alot more in the next 10 years than we have in the previous 10.

Nfl.com doesn't research the tackles, only go off of the have

*Nfl.com doesn't research the tackles, only go off of what stats were recorded during the game

When the Coaches go over game tape they also accredit a tackle/tackle assist on every tackle that player was is in on.

Sounds crazy.

I know. You combine his solo and assists, with how much the defense was on the field and the fact he played every defensive snap besides the ones he missed after he got injured, and 192 tackles makes more sense.

I hope hope he recovers 100%....

and don’t doubt that he will, but I have to think that missing most of the off season training will not have a negative effect on him. On a lighter note, look at the power in his arm as he makes that interception in the picture….big kid!

Not "but I have to think that missing most of the off season training will not have a negative effect on him. "

He had 119 tackles on every moderately legitimate website I can find

Nfl.com, pro-football-reference.com, espn, and even jaguars.com. Think I’ll go with that number. (still good though)
