Jets Mark Sanchez to Undergo Season Ending Surgery

Sanchez

By most accounts, you can say that the Mark Sanchez era is now officially over in New York.

The NFL Network is reporting that Mark Sanchez has decided to undergo season-ending surgery. Sanchez initially elected to put off surgery and try to rehab a labral tear to his right shoulder, but the injury was not responding to treatment.

Sanchez is planning on having the surgery in another week or two, the only question remaining now is why doesn’t he go ahead and get the surgery done now? It will take a minimum of 4-6 months to recover, so the sooner he has it performed, the better off he will be.

Don’t feel too badly for Sanchez, he will still collect $8.25 million this season and then will almost certainly be cut from the team. After Sanchez comes back from his surgery, he will test the free agent market and try to land a backup job somewhere.

Jets Mark Sanchez Probably Done for the Season

Sanchez suffered the injury during a meaningless game

ESPN is reporting that beleaguered Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez will need shoulder surgery and is very likely done for the season. Sanchez visited Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday who determined that Sanchez needed surgery after suffering a labral tear to his right shoulder during a meaningless preseason game.

The bumbling Rex Ryan might have been his biggest supporter, but ultimately threw away Sanchez like garbage by thrusting him into a meaningless preseason game against the Giants where he suffered the injury. It would almost be funny, if it wasn’t so tragic for the 26-year-old Sanchez who will likely never play for Jets again.

After Sanchez initially suffered the injury, the Jets quickly moved on without a second thought looking towards the future with Geno Smith and Matt Simms. Both of these young quarterbacks will now try help the hapless Ryan right the ship in New York before the Jets wise up and put him out to pasture.

Robert Griffin III Cleared to Practice

Maybe he is Superman – RG3’s fantasy stock is soaring now!

Robert Griffin III got a clean bill of health from orthopedic specialists to resume practicing with the Redskins.

Griffin Tweeted the news Monday afternoon that doctors cleared him to practice and that the coach would ease him in.

Griffin says his goal is to be ready by the season opener. Multiple reports out of Washington state that the Redskins quarterback is “adamant” about practicing as much as possible. RG3 is determined to follow the recovery time table set last year by Vikings superstar Adrian Peterson.

A-P spent the first 16 days of last year’s training camp on the active/PUP list proving to coaches he was ready for full contact drills. Peterson did not play a single down during the preseason as the Minnesota Vikings needed him fully healthy for the start the regular season.

The Washington Redskins have no need for RG3 to go all out in preseason let alone in training camp. Dr. James Andrews has been amazed by RG3’s recovery and stated back in March that RG3 was “superhuman”.

Expect RG3’s fantasy average draft position to blow up during the next few weeks. Once projected to go somewhere in the sixth round, the sky is now the limit as RG3 Mania takes hold again around the country.

Drafting Griffin III that early is a high-risk, high reward option. Even if he’s healthy to start the season, he plays a high-risk game that always leaves him one hit away from the next nagging or devastating injury. But the points he scores week in and week out will make him an attractive option across the board.
