Huge blow. Hopefully can make a full recovery... and won't end up like that other former 3rd round O-line pick that was expected to do great things, till he broke his leg in training camp.

Just heard on 790 Nick missed all 2014 with a torn up knee. Why never heard this before?... especially recent days? Dude will play one season in 3 years with 2 serious injuries #secondrdcurse
Nothing that has happened has made those statements false. He WAS doing great before he got injured. Ankle surgery is NOT life threatening. As an aside, **** YOU FOOTBALL GODS!
Center is a tough, tough place for a rookie to excel at. I'm kind of relieved a journeyman will (probably) be starting now.
Unlike with Carr, Oz gets the ball out really fast consistently. This would really help him. I still see him taking some sacks though.
