The Facts:
Burleson said he’s returning to Seattle to have a minor surgery on his right elbow.
Reported by the Detroit Free Press
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Burleson hurt the elbow in November against the Dallas Cowboys. It swells up periodically -- Free Press staffer Dave Birkett reports that it looked like a softball during today's player-organized workouts -- and he has to have the fluid drained and a bursa sac removed. ... Assuming Burleson, who pulled in 55 passes for 625 yards and six touchdowns in 2010, is healthy and ready to roll once the lockout ends, the Lions' passing attack will continue to benefit greatly from his presence opposite Calvin Johnson. The return of a healthy Matthew Stafford, second-year RB Jahvid Best, TE Brandon Pettigrew and the addition of rookie wideout Titus Young should ensure ample production for Fantasy Football owners.
