49ers C Eric Heitmann likely to miss season

[Mooche]

49ers C Eric Heitmann is unlikely to play football in 2011 after undergoing neck surgery recently.
It will be Heitmann's second lost season in a row; he missed 2010 with a fractured left fibula and the neck complications. The latest surgery was to repair a ruptured disk in the neck. (Free agent David Baas just got more leverage.) Heitmann's timetable for recovery has been optimistically set at six months. His agent says Heitmann's "hopes are to play as soon as he's cleared."

Wow, that's shitty news for the 49ers. I hope that he's OK after recovering from this surgery.
