Kerri Walsh Jennings out at least one month, maybe all of 2015, impacting Olympic hopes

Three-time Olympic beach volleyball champion Kerri Walsh Jennings will miss at least one month after dislocating her right shoulder in a match for the second time in two months and may need season-ending surgery that could greatly impact her chances of making the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Walsh Jennings is meeting with doctors and collecting information this week after she dislocated her right shoulder at an FIVB World Tour event in Gstaad, Switzerland, on Friday.

Walsh Jennings, a 36-year-old mother of three, previously dislocated the shoulder in a match in Moscow on May 27 and rushed back to play in the World Championships one month later.
