Urlacher deteriorating quickly
Chicago Bears fans have to be wondering what the heck just happened. Since, seemingly overnite middle linebacker Brian Urlacher went from being one of the best to his career possibly being over soon.
Urlacher has undergone routine surgery to repair an injury in his neck. According to Rick Morrissey of the Chicago Tribune the injur was discovered during a post season physical.
Bears fans should be very worried about the surgery. Bears fans only have to ask former Detroit Lion, and Buffalo Bill, Chris Speilman. Speilman’s career was cut short due to neck injuries that he sustained.
Urlacher is already suffering from arthritis in his back. Now, this injury all but confirms that Urlacher’s spinal column is detoriating very quickly.
Urlacher needs to think long, and very hard, about priorities in life. Any neck injury is serious, and I know that personally thanks to a neck injury in high school football.
The thing that most people do not understand is that when you injure your neck either the vertabrate, or the disc has a good chance of slipping, and causing damage to nerves.
The fact of the matter is that Urlacher’s career is done for, but most likely he and the team will just brush it off. Then Urlacher will get injured again, and that is when his career will end.
