Just one day after Jalen Hurts signed his mega deal with the Eagles, reports surfaced indicating the NFL’s new highest-paid player had undergone offseason surgery on his ankle.
According to a report from ESPN’s Tim McManus, Hurts underwent offseason surgery to remove some “hardware” from his right ankle. The hardware had been surgically implanted into Hurts during his tenure at Alabama after he suffered an ankle injury in a game against Tennessee back in 2018.
McManus indicates that Hurts underwent the surgery in February and described it as a minor procedure, one which doesn’t figure to impact his availability during Philadelphia’s offseason training program.
