WWE Confirms John Morrison's Injury - Out 4-6 Weeks

The following was just posted on WWE.com:

John Morrison will be sidelined between four and six weeks due to a pinched nerve in his neck suffered at the hands of R-Truth last week on Raw. The Superstar broke news of his injury on his Twitter account Monday afternoon.

"I am about to get an operation to fix my neck ? I will return @RonKillings," JoMo told his followers, specifically referencing his Raw rival.

After an MRI confirmed the diagnosis, Morrison was treated by Dr. Joseph Moroon, a renowned neurosurgeon and medical director of WWE. In a procedure to alleviate pain and weakness in his arm, Dr. Moroon created a small incision in the back of Morrison's neck and moved the bone as well as the C5 and C6 discs from around the nerve route.

"This is considered minimally invasive surgery," said Dr. Christopher Amann, WWE's senior ringside physician. "Unlike other procedures, such as those undergone by John Cena and Edge, the typical recovery time is four to six weeks."

At press time, Morrison had not returned calls, texts, emails or tweets. WWE wishes him a quick recovery.
