Sebastian Vollmer goes under the knife


Patriots starting right tackle Sebastian Vollmer underwent offseason shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum. Its unclear when he suffered the injury but he was able to effectively play through it. Only missing the final game of the regular season when the team rested many of their starters.

Vollmer has been spending time at Gillette rehabilitating from the surgery. He should be ready by the beginning of training camp if he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

Having less time to recover from offseason surgeries is one draw back of a team making it to the Super Bowl and Vollmer is one of several Patriots who are in that situation. That list includes Donta Hightower, Sealver Siliga, Ryan Wendell and Chris Jones.

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
