Twitter: Vander Esch to have neck surgery

[Risen Star]

Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch will undergo a minimally invasive procedure on his neck in the next few weeks and should be 100 percent cleared for the offseason program, according to sources. He has missed the last the last five games with a nerve issue after suffering the injury in October. The Cowboys believe this will alleviate any issues in the future.

Good. We're going to need this guy if Lee retires and Jaylon transitions to the mogul world.

 

[Reality]

I bet that's a pain in the neck.

lets hope that vander esch can come back full strength next year. he is a game changer that this defense missed. also he made Jaylon smith look liked a all pro last year.

I'm nervous. Neck and back surgeries are seldom 'fix all's'.

 

[Runwildboys]

Hope that means he'll be back to "Wolf Hunter".

No such thing as minor neurosurgery, minimally invasive or not.
Fingers crossed, but this is not good news.

Why wait a few weeks? Get it over with stat.

 

[glimmerman]

ACDF or ablation. Burning the nerve off perhaps. If it was fusion then that’s not minimal...

 

[cowboy_ron]

Sounds like a laser type procedure

Great news! Just glad they shut him down. Especially with the way the season ended.

See you next summer young buck!!!

I'm skeptical, but hope LVE is going to be all good.

LOL

The injury isn't from playing football. It's from JG getting on LVE's nerve constantly . I got the same injury.

 

[lwehlers]

LOL

are you making a joke to me about Jaylon smith. he did look better with vander ech beside him.

Oh yea no big deal we’re just gonna open your neck up and cut and rearrange stuff in there. You should be good to go running your neck full speed Into 300 lb people in no time

Minimally invasive. Sounds like Garrett's prom night.
