David Wright, Mets in Trouble

David Wright’s rehab has been shut down yet again after being diagnosed with spinal stenosis. It could jeopardize Wright’s career, along with the Mets current and future prospects.

David Wright could be out for a long while.

According to the Mayo Clinic:

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the open spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on your spinal cord and the nerves that travel through the spine.

It can also force an athlete to cut his career short, such as Lenny Dykstra, or abort it altogether, as was the case with Cooper Manning, the oldest brother of the quarterback clan.
