The 35-year-old Chris Hoke is schedule to undergo neck surgery on Wednesday and going to miss the rest of the season. Hoke, who suffered neck injury against Jacksonville Jaguars on 16th November at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh and he is the second longtime player of Pittsburgh’s Steelers defensive front to suffer a career-threatening injury this year. Defensive end Aaron Smith also placed on injured reserve on 22nd October with neck problem at the end of the season.

Steelers’ defensive lineman Steve McClendon said Hoke is likely to attend the team meeting on Tuesday with Coach John Mitchell. He added Hoke is one of the best senior player, who has helped him in everything and difficult to miss him throughout the season. Reports say it’s very tough to predict, whether Hoke and Smith will return back into the team next season, if both the players fit to play.
