Zach Line Is Battling Back From Shoulder Surgery

BY DAN ZINSKI - DEC 19TH, 2013 AT 5:08 PM

Zach Line is tougher than you. I don’t care how tough you think you are. You lose this one.

This is how tough Zach Line is: Last spring during the combine, the SMU back learned that he had a tear in the labrum of his left shoulder. Only surgery could repair the damage. But surgery would sideline him for months. With surgery, he would lose any chance of making an NFL team.

So Line opted against surgery, even though the pain in his arm sometimes reached excruciating levels. He worked out. He took hits. He endured the agony.

Best of wishes to Zach Line for Christmas, rehabilitation and any future endeavour. I sure hope to read about him in preseason camp next year.

And

...If [next year's management is] looking for a team full of tough SOBs who don’t know the meaning of the word quit? They’ll want to hold on to Zach Line.

That's one of the rare stories on Zach, when his fiance' wasn't mentioned. :lol:

Hope the guy gets fully recovered, torn labrums suck. I wonder why they say surgery is the only option for a laberal tear, when there are other options like prolotherapy?
