Former Cardinals defensive end/outside linebacker Travis LaBoy is scheduled to undergo surgery on an ankle later this month, casting doubt on his ability to play in 2009. LaBoy's agents confirmed the plan for surgery, and the ankle injury appears to be the major reason the Cardinals released LaBoy two weeks ago. LaBoy played through a series of injuries last year, including a torn biceps muscle, which required surgery at the end of the season. Source: Arizona Republic
um, I'm a little confused. at one time, teams could not cut players due to injury. are teams having it written into contracts now that they can cut the player if he gets injured?
