Broncos | P.J. Locke underwent rare surgery

Denver Broncos CB P.J. Locke (back) shared on YouTube that he is one of the first players to undergo spinal fusion surgery in his back. Locke shared a meeting with his surgeon, Dr. Chad Prusmack, on Feb. 10 after surgery. The degenerated discs in Locke’s L4 and L5 vertebrae led to bone-on-bone, and Prusmack fused the spine with a ‘cage’ and screws. Five months later, Locke said he’s pain free.
