The Facts:
Mason had surgery on his broken right pinkie yesterday, but he says he'll be ready to go for Baltimore's next game, November 7 against the Dolphins. "I had surgery on it Monday," Mason said on Sports with Coleman on Fox 1370 Sports Radio in Baltimore. "Put a pin in it, so it's good for me that we've got a week off -- almost two weeks -- so it allows my hand to heal and I'll be out there ready to play when we play Miami."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Mason, who hasn't missed a game since 2002, decided when he suffered the injury two weeks ago to put off surgery until the bye week. "If the bye week hadn't come this week I would have just waited until the bye week to get it done," Mason said. "I played with it in the New England game and I played with it last week. . . . Eventually I was going to have it done, so why not have it during the bye week? That gives me two weeks to heal and then be ready to play. ..." Mason has started all seven games and is second on the Ravens with 26 catches for 357 yards this season.
