Thread: Julius Thomas has ankle surgery...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ankle-surgery/

Wasn't he just throwing with Peyton and Decker last week?

We will never see him again.

Too bad; looks like this guy's career may be over before it even started.

Late round pick...no loss

End his career? PFT's report said he'll be limited in OTAs...

I heard the ankle injury was life threatening. Very sad.

my condolences to his family.

One hit to his ankle and he could be gone for good.

Broncos tight end Julius Thomas, who saw his rookie season ruined by a severe Week 2 ankle injury last September, had surgery to repair ligaments this past week.

Noted ankle/foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson performed the surgery, according to Julius’ father, Greg, and Thomas will begin his receovery as the Broncos are set to open their offseason program April 16. Thomas will be limited to work with the team’s training and medical staff as the Broncos go through their offseason conditioning and team workouts over the next two months.

It's not so much the severity of the injury as it is that he already needs this kind of surgery. On top of that, the article that started this thread suggests that the Broncos already have a couple of guys to compete for his roster spot. If they can stay healthy, and he can't, then the Broncos may feel a need to go with someone who the can count on to take the field. After all, how many Knowshon “China Doll” Morenos can we afford to have on our roster all at once?

That's hilarious!

Yup! They'll have to amputate his foot and attach a bionic foot. "We can build him better! We have the technology."

RIP Julius.

kind of puts a wrench in the works for all the nay sayers who were trying to spin it as Thomas falling out of favor with the coaching staff. Looks like what I've said it was all along. A severe ankle injury. He'll be back.

B-U-S-T...A wasted 4th round pick. The guy cant even play catch with Peyton without destroying ligaments. The dude is NOT a football player
