Blake Countess has "Core Injury" Surgery, Expected back for Fall
Not sure why all our injuries seem to focus so heavily on our top 10-12 players every year. Seems like Blake had a surgery per Mlive. Since it was not done immediately after 2013 season one has to assume the team doctors thought it would heal on its own over time but did not.
Michigan junior cornerback Blake Countess recently underwent a surgical procedure to repair a core injury suffered during the 2013 season, according to a team spokesman. Countess, a 5-foot-10, 183-pounder from Owings Mills, Md., is expected to make a fully recovery, and is expected to be back at 100 percent for fall camp this August.
Sounds like too many abs.

Blake is getting upgraded to a Quad Core.
What's a core surgery? Did he pop an ab or something? Hopefuly he recovers just as planned.
I think both Cabrera and Verlander had "core" surgery this offseason. Cabrera's injury was very obvious during last season while Verlander's was a surprise. Basically I'd think anything from the rib cage down to the groin could be considering your core.
It's code for a tummy tuck.
Not sure why that link isn't blocked by the school district I work in but I'm sure I just raised some red flags.
According to a few accounts, Countess actually was at the Academy this weekend and apparently was moving well (not sure if he actually ran a drill like other players, but he was apparently present), which is encouraging to hear given that he is expected back for fall camp. Hopefully, it's a fully recovery and he is indeed good to go in August.
Did the ref at least throw the flag on Bama this time?
My eyes hurt looking at the uniform. Way too busy.
sorry, *tosu
They do just no one cares.
Losing a starter lends itself to a "sky is falling" mentality.
You don't get effect when a guy who is unlikely to see the field this year has 18 months to recover from a 6-8 week procedure.
Everything I have heard about Countess is that he is an exemplar student-athlete/person; hopefully, this is as routine as it sounds
happened at a worse position group, still sucks. Hope the recovery timetable is what they say it is.
get well soon young man!
need ya back
