Cardinals' Jordan Schafer: Will have elbow surgery

Schafer is scheduled to have elbow surgery later in the week, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

At this point, it's still uncertain exactly what the surgery will be for, as Goold also noted that it won't be known until the time of the procedure whether he needs Tommy John or a "primary repair" option. Either way, it seems the 30-year-old is set to miss extended time, but more will be known when the surgery draws closer.
