CB Caleb Farley to have minor back surgery

[This is Our Year]

Probably a VERY safe bet he’ll be there at number 10 now lol.

Stokes was better anyway

Lawrence
Fields
Wilson
Lance
Sewell
Chase
Pitts
Waddle
Surtain

That’s looking like a worst case scenario (that’s not really that bad) top 9 where we have to go BPA and take Slater. Or cross our fingers that someone calls to trade up for 1 of Slater, Mac Jones, or Devonta Smith.

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

I think he is out of consideration now at 10, no way you can use a top pick on a player having back surgery, even if it's minor.

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

Didn't he miss an entire season?

a great target for our FO in RD 2,i know they like their red flags guys in the 2nd RD.

 

[Cowboyny]

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

I still think he gets drafted in rd 1, but they is no way we can chance it at 10. This is from a huge Farley fan.

My wife had this surgery twice in 12 months on the same disc at 30. Super easy surgery itself but there is no way to know if it's a more serious issue of a disc delaminating. Much like a vinyl record the disc is simply compressed layers. My wife ended up having to have her back fused 4 months after her second surgery. Her disk had started delaminating the top and bottom layers had stayed attached to the bone the middle came squirting out.

He is worth the gamble at 44, but not at 10.

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.

Herniated disk means trouble.

This real bad news for his camp because I expected him to blow up his pro day. I really feel for the kid. The bad news for him is Covid-19 keeps him from coming to teams and having a medical check up. The Cowboys have probably the best medical team in the league.

I had it done. I am now a world class athelete

When you have an injury history, have the entire yr to prep for the combine/workout and you need surgery, it's a huge blow to his stock. I cannot see him falls out of the 1st rd, he just is too talented, but might slide into the 20's.

He’s perfect for a team like Baltimore who is deep at corner this year. With our current corner situation we cannot afford to have him miss any time

Still, bad sign... red flags.
