Spencer Chris.jpgSeahawks center Chris Spencer has met with Dr. James Andrews, the surgeon who repaired his shoulders this offseason. Dr. Andrews determined that a followup procedure is not necessary at this time, meaning Spencer will proceed with his rehab. We do not yet have a precise timetable for his return, but the assumption would be that he'll be ready to go for training camp.

This is very welcome news for the Seahawks, who are counting on Spencer to start. Surgery would have sidelined Spencer for months, threatening his availability for the regular season while forcing Chris Gray to move from right guard to center. If Spencer is available, Gray and Floyd Womack could even share time at right guard, restoring some depth up front.

Deciding against surgery does not necessarily mean Spencer's rehab will produce the desired results. It won't necessarily make the pain go away. He still must overcome (or fight through) the problems that led him to seek a followup exam.
