Here's another reason why you should never believe anyone that says an offseason surgery is "minor."

Safety Darren Sharper underwent microfracture surgery in February according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Microfracture surgeries have become more common in recent years and there are varying degrees of severity, but it's still a far more serious procedure than the arthroscopic knee surgery that was originally reported.

It's unclear when Sharper will be ready again for football activities, but this helps explain why he didn't get a long-term deal.

Did anybody else here this? No wonder nobody signed him to a long term deal. This is serious. Can Sharper get on the field this year and be the same player he was? Microfracture surgeries are hard enough to come back from but Bush and Vilma did it. Still at Sharper's age, he could no doubt loose a step. I have to think that Jenkins will be moved to FS asap and Sharper will be kept this year to help mentor him. Sharper will play some but I don't look for him to be the player he was in years past.
