Son of Washington posted a pic of London Fletcher in a sling. Anyone know what the deal is? I'm sure it was a minor surgery or something, but can't find any news about it.

He had surgery on his ankle in late February... and had some "clean up" done on his elbow in March.

And... he's not wearing his sling right...

If he's doing this now, he's probably going to be in beast mode this year. Fletcher was not only known for being an iron man, but he's never had surgery before. Just played through pain. Now he's doing maintenance, he might look even younger.

I know its his elbow (not tricep) but he can just "Ray Lewis" it this year. Maybe its a SB good luck charm lol

Found some 2012 full Redskins games on youtube yesterday...Fletcher was key in some very crucial games. Wish he could stay young forever.

Even in losing a step he is one of the best at his position.. He had some huge plays this year, some even changed the outcome of the game. A sack here, int there, particularly when the opposing team is driving into our territory. I hope he contributes to the team long after he hangs them up. His work ethic is the only thing that can match his sheer knowledge of the game. If he can help mold his replacement I'd feel a lot more comfortable when the time comes.
