The surgery that Direckshun mentioned in his OP was simply a scope to go in to check out and potentially clean out any lingering debris/stuff from the 2012 injury.
Actually, I think it's Direckshun that was baiting. He tried to suggest that Reilly was average athletically and wasn't going to be good dropping back into coverage. However, those are two of his strong suits as he is a former full time safety that continued to play at that position along with DE, OLB and MLB the past two seasons. He excels at pass coverage and is exceptionally athletic.
So either Direckshun was playing devil's advocate and trying to get me to give a positive analysis of Reilly, or he was completely talking out his ass about a guy he actually had no idea about.
