Posted in The KC Star reports that TE Brad Cottam had successful surgery on Tuesday:
Chiefs tight end Brad Cottam, who was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, had surgery a day later to repair the cervical vertebrae he cracked in Sunday’s loss to Cleveland. Haley said Wednesday that he visited Cottam and that he was “doing well. “Everything was very successful and went very well,” Haley said. “He’s already on the road to recovery, which is a big thing.” Cottam landed awkwardly on his shoulder after being shoved out of bounds in the second half.
