The Facts: Hurts, who recently became the highest-paid player in NFL history, had surgery on his right ankle earlier this offseason, league sources told ESPN. The procedure was to remove "hardware" that had been inserted in the ankle after Hurts suffered a high ankle sprain while playing for the University of Alabama in an October 2018 game against Tennessee, sources said. Hurts was sidelined for nearly a month before returning to play in November of that season.

Diehards Line: Surgery to remove the hardware took place in February and was considered minor, according to ESPN.com's Tim McManus, who added that Hurts returned to his offseason workout routine not long after the procedure. Hurts will be a full participant in the Eagles' offseason training program that begins next week, according to McManus. ... Hurts has missed a total of three games as a pro. He sat out two games late in the 2022 season with a right shoulder sprain but returned for the regular-season finale against the Giants and played through discomfort in the postseason as he led the Eagles to the Super Bowl. Hurts and Philadelphia agreed to a five-year, $255 million extension Monday that includes over $179 million in guarantees. It is the biggest contract in terms of average annual value in NFL history at $51 million per year, and it includes a no-trade clause -- the first in Eagles history.
