The Facts: Pass revealed on Thursday that he underwent surgery on his right foot this offseason to correct a chronic turf problem that has plagued him since high school. "I hurt it in high school and college," Pass said. "Basically it won't allow you to push off your toes, which slows you down a lot."

Diehards Line:He exacerbated it on Nov. 20 against New Orleans, played a week later against Kansas City, then basically missed the next three games. According to Herald staffer John Tomase, Pass is walking with a slight limp, but expects to be ready for training camp.
