Denver Broncos CB P.J. Locke (back) shared on YouTube that he is one of the first players to undergo spinal fusion surgery in his back. Locke shared a meeting with his surgeon, Dr. Chad Prusmack, on Feb. 10 after surgery. The degenerated discs in Locke’s L4 and L5 vertebrae led to bone-on-bone, and Prusmack fused the spine with a ‘cage’ and screws. Five months later, Locke said he’s pain free.
