After a disappointing season from both a performance standpoint as well as a health standpoint, Oakland Raiders right tackle Austin Howard has undergone surgery on his shoulder.
More specifically, the surgery was on Howard’s left shoulder, and it was to repair a torn rotator cuff as well as a torn labrum.

Howard had been dealing with the injury since training camp, and he also had a nagging injury throughout the season.
