Okay, I have to be careful about this. I posted this the other day and removed the thread because I didn't want to create any ethical issues. I'm going to post this another way.
The Bills will be bringing Schobel in on February 1st to evaluate his foot injury. He is telling everyone that it's improving. Since the Bills got burned on Crowell I doubt they make the same mistake twice.
His injury supposedly doesn't involve the ligament. However, he's being evaluated because there is a good chance the ligament is damaged and it will need surgery. Surgery and rehab wouldn't get Schobel in light workouts until mid August.
If Schobel needs surgery, and I strongly beleive he does, he will be useless for us in 2009.
I was told that after this kind of surgery, and for a DE, he would never make a full recovery. It would take a year just to be able to give a full 100% push off of it. Given his age and downhill slide I really beleieve that Schobel won't be coming back.
