He had a problem with the shoulder subluxing (popping out and back in) during the season. I heard that it also happened to him in college. This particular type of surgery is done all the time in the NFL. This should fix it, and it shouldn't be a big deal. He should be ready for camp.
This type of surgery is called a Bankart repair. They are relatively common in football. I would say that the average NFL team has a couple of them done every off season. Most of the time you never even hear that it was done. Maroney will be fine.
tomase is making a big deal about nothing, moroney will be fineSince the other Maroney injury thread has turned into a pissing contest about draft picks and injuries, I guess it's better to put this here. A poster on Indy Star (a resident Pat's troll who seems to have sources on player info) posted this about Maroney's injury on a thread there:
Here's the good news, in technicolour, from Mike Reiss:
On the news front, running back Laurence Maroney underwent shoulder surgery after the AFC Championship Game. That Maroney underwent surgery was first reported by the Boston Herald, and has been confirmed. Maroney will naturally be limited in the team's offseason program, but the injury isn't expected to threaten his 2007 season.
Great news, absolutely.
But may I say this made me grin a little, remembering that just yesterday in a thread about Reiss I wrote:
"There does seem to be a trend of Reiss suddenly appearing with an extremely detailed inside view on a topic the team typically doesn't want to talk about...3 hours after the story is broken by somebody else."
Mike isn't in the habit of breaking news about injuries, even though he always knows the score. That's his MO, for better or worse. Personally, I'm glad to have both a Tomase playing "bad cop" and Reiss playing "good cop."
Mike Reiss has the best Patriots source in the business: Bill Belichick. I'll bet money that the minute this story broke, he went to the "SOURCE" to confirm it and get more detail.

According to Patriots Insiders, the Pats have set up a private workout with Chris Henry and they appear to be VERY interested in him.
Good, he's a rock. I made a thread about him in the draft section with links to four different scouting reports.

IN WHAT WAY DID TOMASE "make a big deal about nothing?" Can we please have some standard of equilibrium here, not to mention a sense of irony. He just reported the story. It seems like YOU guys are the ones overreacting.

Cousins,
They needed another RB anyway regardless of the Maroney injury. They lose Pass and Dillion and only pick up Morris. This Henry guy is an athlete for an RB with a lot of tread left as he played slightly but was good when he did.
There is no way the Pats let Dillion walk IMO is Maroney looks like a PUP casualty. So that says quite a bit.
Morris is a 30 year old ST guy who will catch some passes and can run the ball 6 to 8 times a game to give Maroney a breather. In this age of a two back system, He is not the answer but a compliment. I think Henry is a bigger back than both but with break away speed actually faster than Maroney. A faster Dillion perhaps.
