COLUMBUS, Ohio – Braxton Miller’s shoulder surgery was a success, according to the doc, the coach and the patient.
Buckeye head coach Urban Meyer says that the surgery on the senior quarterback’s right shoulder Tuesday went well.
Miller, a two-time Big Ten player of the year, tore the labrum in his right throwing shoulder on Aug. 18 in practice.
Miller posted a photo of himself with Dr. James Andrews after procedure with the message, “Me & the best to do it , Dr. Andrews after surgery today! So happy this man said everything went well!”
Miller had initially injured his shoulder in last year’s Orange Bowl loss to Clemson, then had surgery in February and missed spring workouts. He returned to the team and reinjured the shoulder during preseason camp.
Meyer, speaking on the Big Ten coach’s teleconference, says Miller sent him the picture after the surgery was completed Tuesday in Florida.
J.T. Barrett will start in place of Miller for the Buckeyes against Navy in Baltimore on Saturday (Noon/CBS Sports Network).
