At a press conference announcing that Wrestlemania will be held at MetLife Stadium in April of next year, New York Jets guard Matt Slauson disclosed that he played the entire 2011 season with a torn labrm, rotator cuff and biceps in his left arm, Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger reports. According to Vrentas, Slauson already underwent surgery to repair those injuries, which he believes occurred in December of 2010. Though he faces a five-to-six month recovery process, Slauson expects to be ready for training camp. "I knew something was wrong, but I was like, 'OK, I'll keep on playing as long as I can play,' and I was able to get through it all," Slauson said. "I felt like I had a fairly successful year personally with it. So I'm really excited about next year without having pain." A 2009 sixth-round pick out of Nebraska, Slauson has started the last 35 regular and post-season games for the Jets. Slauson's regular season playing time has helped increase his 2012 base salary from $615,000 to $1.308 million.
