Not sure if you listen to NFL radio (XM -Moving the Chains), but last Thursday Dr. Chao spoke about Anzalone's injury/shoulder. I'm paraphrasing here but in a nut shell he stated that apparently Alex has had at least 3 dislocations in the same shoulder. Possibly in different directions, however if they were in the same direction it would be difficult to avoid subsequent dislocations.

He went on to say that in this new age of modern medicine, there are procedures & techniques to graft tissue in so he feels Anzalone could get past this ... for good.

University of Florida just wants to patch kids together without medical care becoming a burden to the program...
