I mean, i’d guess there's a large % of players actively playing with herniated discs, to varying degrees of severity.Agreed but let's be honest, with herniated disk you have to have a bit of pause. I don't think it is a deal breaker but like you said he could be there at #5 because of it
Unless there's something that says this injury is catastrophically bad and career limiting or threatening.
Seems a lot of fuss over something that doesn't appear to be too serious.
