Even though Jimmy Nelson knew he was going to miss the rest of the season after suffering a shoulder injury on September 8th, he tried to remain optimistic. Nelson was scheduled to undergo an “arthroscopic debridement” on his right shoulder yesterday, in which Dr. Neal ElAttrache was to remove some debris from the area. Once he was inside, ElAttrache would then determine the extent of the damage to Nelson’s labrum and determine if it needed to be surgically repaired. A few days before going under the knife, Nelson told reporters:
"It’s good news because there’s a chance that once he gets in there, and cleans it up, he might feel the labrum doesn’t need to be fixed, that I could rehab it and be just as good that way.
