Correct. A guy at work had a major face plant skiing moguls and completely destroyed his face. It took him 3 months to get back to normal- and reconstructive surgery to his face. They waited for cosmetic surgery until the swelling went down. If Ben has been in surgery this long, it wasn't for cosmetic repair... it was probably to relieve swelling on the brain and to reset his jaw. Any trauma to the head is serious stuff, especially when it was unprotected. He will be monitored very closely for at least three days.

Did you see the Terry Bradshaw interview?

Sounds like Steelers fans should count Ben out for this season. Hell, it's already June, the hitting starts in less than 2 months. You think he's gonna be allowed ANY contact to his head in the coming months?

No way.
