WSSU’s Carrothers has shoulder surgery

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- Anthony Carrothers — expected to be the starting quarterback at Winston-Salem State this fall — underwent shoulder surgery on Wednesday morning at Baptist Hospital.

Carrothers, who hurt the shoulder during the Rams’ playoff run last November, had surgery on his left labrum. The surgery was performed on his non-throwing shoulder and had been put off so that Carrothers could go through spring football practice last month.

Carrothers’ father, Anthony Carrothers Sr., said on Wednesday afternoon that his son was doing well.

“It was a long day for him,” Anthony Sr. said. “They found that the tear was a little bigger then they had thought, but they fixed everything and the doctor said the surgery went well.”
