New York Jets guard Kelechi Osemele had shoulder surgery on Sunday despite the team not accepting of the procedure, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The team considers him doing so as an unexcused absence and he will continue to be fined.

Osemele went under the knife to repair a torn labrum. The team believes he could play with it. He thinks the opposite. He is now “questionable” to play in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has not played since Week 3 against the New England Patriots.

The team and player are in a standoff pertaining to the situation. With the Jets believing he could play through it, they are fining him the tag “conduct detrimental to the team” as he has also missed practice.

“I’d be lying if I said that it wasn’t frustrating to be in this position considering what I’ve been able to accomplish in this league and the type of player that I am, to be dealing with something like this is slightly disrespectful,” Osemele said Wednesday per the Associated Press. “But, it’s outside of my control and I’m trying to be positive about it.”

The Jets acquired Osemele in March in a trade with the Oakland Raiders. He said he began feeling shoulder pain in early August. He was not able to play games without taking strong painkillers as he previously alluded to. Nonetheless, the Jets believe he is able to play through the pain of a labrum tear.

Osemele has a fully guaranteed $9.85 million to make in 2019. Next year, his $11.35 is fully unguaranteed. Unspursingly, he expects to be cut.
