Johnathan Abram is one of the hardest hitters in the NFL, but that takes a toll on your shoulder.
The former Mississippi State star has been an integral part of the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense this season, but now his year is reportedly over.
Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Abram will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery this week. He reportedly tried to play through the injury, but doctors advised against it:
