Charles Cross underwent a finger operation

Sihaux had left Charles Kroos treatment as he was trying to play by hitting the finger this summer, but he eventually chose a different direction to prepare for the normal season.

The lead coach Mike McDonald has confirmed multiple reports that Cross has undergone surgery to repair a pickled finger. McDonald said at his press conference on Thursday that Sehux expects to return in time for the opening match at home against 49ers.

Cross started every match he played since Siox took him in ninth place in the 2022 draft.

Josh Jones will fill the first team while Cross was out of work and Siox hopes to return to his swinging role in the first week.
