btw did I really read that he has no loss of function and no neurological impairments? yet they want to do spinal surgery?
I hope his mri showed out of this world impingements - least for justifications sake ...

No Im not a spinal surgeon ... I just hate to see our pro bowl safety go under the knife with spinal surgery.

I also just asked jasonjwilde about Nick Collins not being added to IR yet, this was his response:

"Yes, but not because he's got a chance of coming back. Thompson takes his time with such moves, as you know."

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Nick Collins' agent, Alan Herman, said Collins will see spine specialist at Hospital For Special Surgery in New York City later this week.

Collins is going to the 'Hospital For Special Surgery' just to see the spine specialist, it didn't say he was having actually having surgery.

Realitically, I don't see Collins stepping on the field again. And if he does he's a damn fool. He's already financially secure, he's made the pro bowl numerous times, won a super bowl in which he had a pick six. Are we all so selfish that we need to see Collins on the field again? He should walk away from the game, not risk being carted off.

I guess we'll just have to put safety on our wish list for next season's draft regardless of what happens with Collins. I think Burnett has shown quite a bit already for us to be excited.

Yeah, I don't think there's any reason to think that Collins won't play again next season at this point. A neck injury in and of itself doesn't mean the end of ones career. Could it? Sure. But I don't think we have much evidence to say that as of now. I mean, he has almost a year to rehab with some of the best in the business. For now, only time will tell. But for someone moving around like he still is, I think he's got a good chance to return. He's not just going to give up on his career easily, that's for sure.
