Good to hear his downtime won’t be that long. Hope he does well with it!

[HectorRoberts]

Here we go again! Those damn shoulders will be the death of us!

[Scott Pennock]

Wow......newfound respect for the young man for playing a full season with that injury!

A torn labrum could take awhile so you never know

[Boiler_Colt]

Did he just have it recently or was it done right after the season?

[Defjamz26]

Isn’t that the same injury Luck had? Why is Mack’s time table so much shorter?

[Chrisaaron1023]

Really... My gawd

It's the throwing motion that causes pain 

[VaAllDay757]

That stiff arm he gave to clowney makes it that much better

There are different (common) types of SLAP tears, but all fall under labral tears.

The thread title is very misleading.  Ballard said he "underwent" offseason shoulder surgery.  It's over and done with.  Undergoes implies he just had it. 

[Luck 4 president]

But can he throw “the Duke”?

I'm not trying to be misleading. I really didn't even think about the difference between undergoes/underwent, but sure, I’ll edit it to be more clear.

Why wasn't this taken care of once the season ended or shortly thereafter? this is my only question or concern.

It very well might've been. I have no idea when this surgery happened.

[twfish]

It happened like back in the preseason if I remember right because he started wearing that brace

[strt182]

Ya, just like Luck's.

[mikey287]

Shoulder injuries like this might have a "normal" get back to square recovery time...but your full strength time is usually 12-18 months with a lot of them. Shoulders are a *...and I'm not making a joke about Luck...they genuinely are awful...

[r a y s k i]

Really excited for this guy. Hope he gets his fair share of touches.

Really beginning to wonder about the teams prior administration and the docs handling of these injuries.  Forcing players to play through severe injuries?!

cause he's not throwing or it could be a different location etc. 

[AZColt11]

I hope he had it done in January because if he JUST had it, no way he'll be ready in July IMHO.

Here’s to hoping Mack isn’t as injured. As another poster previously said, all of that type of injury are lumped together in title, but there are differing lvls of damage, and how the damage affects rehab/healing time.

Several things. . . he got it quicker then Luck who dealt with it and played with it for a couple seasons.

 

But mostly it's the fact that he's not throwing the football at NFL speed 30 times a game.  

 

This is for the record one of the reasons that they worry so much about QB injuries and the QB's always wear red jerseys in practice.  There are a lot of injuries that a player at any other position could play through that a QB just can't.  

 

I mean you see it all the time LB's with broken arms or hands go out onto the field with a giant cast on their arm/hand.  But there is simply no way a QB could play through that.  

[Dark Superman]

Why did he wait so long to have the surgery?

[crestmount]

If he needs a good physio, the young lady in my profile picture is brilliant and I fully recommend her.

Not sure I follow this. Are we talking about the coaching staff because Ballard was the GM last year and would be in charge of the team still. I would assume Mack played through because he couldn't do more damage to the shoulder and it was more pain related. It also could be why when EVERYONE was crying for him to get more carries the team kept his work load down.
