The training camp availability of offensive left tackle TonyBoselli, the initial veteran selected by Houston in the expansion draft, was further jeopardized on Monday when the seven-year pro went under the knife yet again.
Boselli underwent an arthroscopic procedure April 29 to flush debris from the shoulder.
Boselli, 30, has not participated in any of the Texans' on-field workouts this spring, but Houston officials have continued to insist he will be ready for the start of the regular season.
It's often speculated that the Texans selected Boselli first in the expansion draft with an understanding that the Jaguars would then allow the Texans to select both Seth Payne, who remains a starter for the Texans to this day, and Gary Walker.
Even though TonyBoselli failed to play for the Texans his selection as the first player taken in the expansion draft was seen as a clear sign of the direction that the Houston Texans wished to go.
On March 20, 2006, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced that TonyBoselli will be inducted as the first player to be in the Jaguars Ring of Honor, which is now named the "Pride of the Jaguars," and he will retire as a Jaguar after signing a one-day contract.
Boselli, 31, who never played a down for the Houston Texans after being their top pick in last year's expansion draft, addressed the local media for the first time since word of his decision to retire was made public earlier this week.
The Texans took Boselli in the 2002 expansion draft in an agreement between the two teams that allowed Houston to take defensive linemen Seth Payne and Gary Walker.
Although Boselli made the Pro Bowl five times in the six seasons he productively played for the Jaguars, the team let him go when he didn't return after the 2001 campaign, which was cut short by operations on both shoulders, and also because of his large salary.
TonyBoselli - During his tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars, TonyBoselli was one of the top rated offensive linemen in the NFL.
From founding member of a successful NFL franchise to founding partner in a successful marketing solutions company, today TonyBoselli is now a principal partner at Intra-Focus, Inc., a full-service marketing solutions company based in Georgetown, Texas.
Boselli currently lives in Jacksonville, maintaining the company's Florida office and working directly with clients throughout the region.
TonyBoselli is tired of standing around and wants to prove his worth to the Texans.
Boselli, who missed all of last season and most of the 2001 campaign, strapped on a helmet and was finally able to accomplish a feat that has eluded him for more than a year.
While Boselli insisted he holds no ill will toward his former team in Jacksonville, he believes his injury was marred by a surgery performed while he was with the Jaguars.
Boselli occasionally gets a little too high, but that's his only problem, and his man never gets within hailing distance of Johnson anyway.
But Boselli certainly will become the first offensive lineman to go in the first six picks of the NFL draft since the Mandarich Fiasco of 1989 did for collegiate offensive linemen what the Hindenberg did for dirigibles.
Boselli starts by talking about when he was attending high school in Boulder, Colo., and watching Mandarich on television.
The Times-Union reports former Jacksonville Jaguars OL TonyBoselli will be a TV analyst for WTEV in Jacksonville for three of the four Jaguars preseason games.
Boselli to be inducted to Pride of the Jaguars
Boselli will be inducted during the Jaguars' Oct. 8 home game against the New York Jets.
I just happened to be in the same foursome as former Jaguars offensive tackleTonyBoselli.
Following today's round of golf, I can say that Tony is still firmly entrenched atop the list and earned even more first place votes in the rankings because of his friendliness and for the way he encouraged me on the course despite my poor scoring.
Tony maintainted a positive attitude throughout the day, and it rubbed off on me because I didn't seem to be as frustrated as usual with my game.
