Source says Giants guard Josh Ezeudu had shoulder surgery that he is now recovering from. But the timeline still stands: Ezeudu felt good at end of season and expects to be ready for training camp to compete for a prominent role on the O-line

Could it have been the trapezoid muscle? Kind of the neck area, kind of the shoulder....

Another engineering mystery...

Lots of stuff connects the neck and shoulder, muscles, ligaments, nerves. Any of which could causes pain in both places. As some who has had issues connected to both, I can attest to the fact that a shoulder issue can causes neck problems and pain. And a shoulder injury can cause you to compensate and strain muscles and ligaments in your neck, and vice versa.
Could we catch a break

Both our IOL draft choices had to have surgery. Frustrating.

I like to rail on Ronnie Barnes as much as the next dude, but Schoen needs to do a deep dive into these injuries seemingly being misdiagnosed. I thought Ezeudu had a neck injury. Now he's having shoulder surgery? WTF?
My understanding is that

Just because the press says it was X injury doesn't mean it was.
Also, as I said to Eric, it could have been both. The neck issue may have healed. He may have had a shoulder injury too.
Because you think it is a misdiagnosis, does not mean it was.
Plus what k2Tampa said - things are connected.
I m no doctor or physical therapist for that matter  
Blue21 : 2/2/2023 9:05 pm : link
but I ve been going to a therapist for a rotator cuff injury. Much of the therapy and manipulation involved the shoulder but a lot of it was aimed at the neck too. Therapist explained to me it was all relevant to the shoulder injury and I felt it in both my shoulder up through my neck and down through my arm.
Hopefully all of our off-season injuries and surgeries occur soon

So they have more time to heal.

And other shoulder injuries can cause your body to compensate and result in neck spasms. I have no idea what his neck injury was but it could be that he has been playing through a shoulder injury that caused his neck to spasm.

It might be time for the Giants to bring in fresh eyes for player training. We seem to be one of the most injured teams year after year.

Exactly! The neck and the shoulder are connected and a strain to one can cause problems with the other.

I'm currently going through an issue with bicep tendonitis. The problem started in the shoulder and my bicep was strained when it tried to compensate for my shoulder issue.

Some posters on this thread are acting like Ezeudu just had knee surgery to address a neck injury.
I had shoulder surgery about 5 years ago.

No pain afterwards to speak of, but sleeping like a horse with the harness/sling was brutal. PT was beyond torture, extremely painful, but a necessary evil. My shoulder is 100%..
Regardless of neck or shoulder just recover 100% from the surgery

Do agree, I feel Schoen and Daboll will hedge bets and vie for a battle between Bredeson and Ezeudu for the LG job next camp.

Center is another question mark, and I feel Glowinski should be in line to start at RG, but he's a vet and isn't likely to be a starter in 2024 however.
He could have had a shoulder impingement  
Stratman : 2/3/2023 9:28 am : link
that created pain through his neck. I'm no doctor but I had such an impingement and the pain can go into the neck area.

For the umpteenth time, the trainers help players rehab from injury. They are not the reason injuries happen. Strength and conditioning coaches are the ones responsible for physical training that is geared to prevent injury. Those guys have been changed several time in the last 10 years.
