Utter crap designed to get you to sign up for Insider. Simply a story about the surgery.
ESPN should be ashamed of themselves for their 'snake oil salesman' approach to marketing the Insider.

McFadden, Russell undergo surgeries (w/update)
It turns out the future faces of the Raiders have some offseason healing to do.
Raiders running back Darren McFadden, the No. 4 overall pick of last year's draft, underwent minor surgery on his left shoulder, a family member said in confirming a previously undisclosed procedure.
Former No. 1 overall draft pick JaMarcus Russell had his own minor surgery last week to remove bone chips in his right ankle, a team official confirmed Thursday.
Russell's surgery was no surprise. Team owner Al Davis mentioned its possibility last week during a press conference to introduce Tom Cable as the new head coach.
No one has ever mentioned McFadden needing arthroscopic surgery, and one high-ranking team official said he was unaware it even happened.
McFadden had it done Jan. 13 by a doctor of his own choosing -- instead of letting the Raiders' staff do it -- in Fayetteville, Ark., where he starred as a college running back for Arkansas. He is recovering fine and doesn't expect to miss any offseason workouts, a family member said.
(UPDATE: After the story broke, Tom Murphy of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette tracked down McFadden at the University of Arkansas, where he is working out and spending most of his offseason.
McFadden told Murphy, "It went real good. It was just a scope. I'm already working out again."
The scope was performed by Dr. John Park, one of the college's team doctors. Thanks to Chris Cocoles, a fellow Fresno State alum, for passing this along).
He injured his shoulder in the second game of the season, the same Chiefs game that he got the first of two turf toes that severely hindered his rookie season. In fact, for all the coverage of his toe problems, the shoulder injury went mostly unnoticed as it lingered all year.
He finished with 499 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns but missed four starts and had 9 or fewer carries in eight of 13 games.
Players report for the voluntary offseason strength and conditioning program March 16.

And they were all yelping about not trusting the Raiders doctors. What a bunch of fucking cocksuckers. I hope they all get herpes from a big black guy.
