Porter To Undergo Hernia Surgery...
According to the Associated Press, Jerry Porter will undergo surgery Friday in Florida on what has now been diagnosed as a hernia.He traveled to Florida on his own Wednesday to seek a second opinion on what was initially diagnosed by Raiders doctors as a strained stomach muscle.
Porter re-aggravated the injury that kept him out of the last two preseason games during the second quarter of the last weekend's loss to the Titans.
He's coming off a breakthrough season in which he had a team-best and career-high nine receiving touchdowns and caught 51 passes for 688 yards.
Needless to say. ... Porter owners might want to put in a quick waiver wire bid on Tim Brown if at all possible.
