I'm devastated.I’m not even trying to give you a like for that crap!
Here's an article detailing some specifics and the long term medical prognosis.

He needs to have a long heart to heart with his family... looks like this current surgery could get him back to 100% on the field again— BUT another injury that requires surgery puts him at huge risk for an injury to his spinal cord— which is just simply not worth it
I hope he stays healthy— but his condition is a serious one for sure— and he is playing one of the highest risk positions for neck injuries.
On the surface- LBer looks good— but IMO, we need to draft some young talent there in April and have a plan in place to replace LVE should he get hurt and Jaylon if he can’t get back to playing consistently.
How about something a little more up-to-date?
yup, LVE AND SMITH...all of the linebackers were a step behind and woeful all year. They looked out of synch and crap, how many times did we see missed tackles,poor tackling, blown assignments and running backs in the flat uncovered? It was like they weren't taught coverage on screens...it was a theme throughout the season. Greenbay exposed this early and all our opponents copied that with great success. We never adjusted..and if we did, it speaks to how much our linebackers regressed. Like you said, we have our work cutout for us figuring this out. Who is our new linebacker coach btw? HAS that been announced yet?LB coach has his work cut out for him. Both he and especially Smith, regressed last year. They have to return to 2018 form.
Will be interesting to see how they fit these guys into a new defensive system. Will there be position switches? Will they blitz more and use Smith in that role?
That's a pretty goofy comment. Obviouisly a successful surgery provides a dramatically better chance of LVE playing again at a high level than an unsuccessful surgery would.Surgery being a success means nothing as far as being able to play football is concerned...

And help out jaylon because he looked lost with out lveCan't wait to see the Wolfhunter on the field again. He's a special player. With competent coaches and a new defense I'm convinced we will see the 2018 version of him again.

If it was goofy, why did you respond? Dallas and LVE opted for a MINOR procedure. Even if it was successful, it simply means the surgery was successful. It doesn’t DRAMATICALLY improve anything.
That has little bearing on his ability to play again. There are really no cases where players came back from issue like this. Chad Hennings for example is one such person. They may have gotten a roster spot but they retired after a year.
And it ended Irvin's career after one big hit when it was identified. Spinal stenosis has ended plenty of playing careers.
