All congenital means is that he was born with it. Back surgery to remove herniated discs and small portions of bone? Sounds just as risky and scary given the nature of the NFL. Ahmad Bradshaw's surgery was considered a "fusion". 

You are right about the definition of congenital.  But there are congenital defects caused by in utero mutations. but Klippel-Feil is actually inherited and if you care to know, it is autosomal (not sex chromosome) dominant, usually from the father.  It is often limited in its expression, like Ross apparently, but the one thing that is the same is that these people need to avoid activities that can injure the neck.  If Ross is Klippel-Feil, he is truly rolling the dice in a high stakes game. I suppose that makes me worry about him?
