CB Caleb Farley to have minor back surgery

[Risen Star]

 

[Parcells4Life]

Same procedure Tigers had which has killed his golf career. If a golfer can’t deal with it how can a football player?

I don't usually care about injury history much for drafting players, but this guy having back issues already makes me nervous.

 

[Typhus]

Ive had a bad feeling about Farley way before this,, his stock is dropping faster than the titanic.
Horrible timing to be having this procedure done right now before the draft, bad advice from someone.

Here is Jerry's 2nd round pick for the 2021 draft!

Michael Porter jr of the Denver Nuggets had the same procedure. He made a 100% recovery.

Why did it take so long for Farley to get the surgery when he didn't play last year?

Too much going on with Farley, bruh...Stick to guys who played last year, and are healthy.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

This, on top of the fact his dad is a problem is not good for him

 

[baltcowboy]

Well he looks like the projected top 10 pick that will fall out of the first round. Bad back for a 23 year old is not good.

With the 10th pick in the 2021 NFL draft the Cowboys select Kaleb Farley, Virginia Tech.......

This is not good and will no doubt hurt his draft expectations. Got to be a hard pass at #10.

A microdiscectomy is generally considered the gold standard for removing the herniated portion of a disc that is pressing on a nerve, as the procedure has a long history and many spine surgeons have extensive expertise in this approach.

While technically an open surgery, a microdiscectomy uses minimally invasive techniques and can be done with a relatively small incision and minimal tissue damage or disruption.

Personally at #10 I would pass don't even start contemplating just pick someone else !!!

 

[RS12]

I never wanted him to begin with at 10.

That's why I called it minor.

But I guess the only true minor back surgery is when someone else is getting it.

The procedure, itself, doesn't really mean anything long term.

It's less likely that he delayed the procedure until now than it is he just got the herniated disc.

I thought so too. Why do it just before your Pro Day. At first I wanted Farley but now I am not sure especially with a back injury.

 

[unionjack8]

He was my top CB but I simply cannot bear to select another injury concetn in the top 10.

Ps2 then horn

 

[Denim Chicken]

Shouldn't be drafted in the first 43 picks after this news.

 

[Landryhat73]

Isn’t this his 2nd back surgery, not to mention an ACL.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Wasn't my first choice anyway but I may still take him with one of the 3rd or 4th rounders

Not with a ten foot pole.
