Patriots Linebacker Dont'a Hightower also played in Super Bowl XLIX with a torn labrum. He is scheduled for off season surgery as well. CB Jason Verrett of the Chargers had the same type of injury this season. Not sure what his prognosis for recovery is though.

 

Ed Reed played with a torn labrum, but I think that was his last season in the NFL. In 2013 CB Dee Milliner had a torn labrum surgically repaired in March and was able to participate in the Jets training camp that summer.  Others who have had torn labrums include QB's Matt Hasselbeck and Rich Gannon. Gannon missed a full season recovering (1994) but he played just as well, if not better, after the torn labrum was repaired. Not sure about Hasselbeck's when his injury occurred, and if he needed a prolonged recovery. 

 

The injury seems to be fairly common. As long as the proper precautions in terms of restricted movement and rehabilitation after surgery are followed, there shouldn't be any long term impact on a players ability to fully recover from this type of injury.
