Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano’s so-called “ballerina injury” turned out to be serious enough to require surgery.
Gano tweeted a picture Friday night that showed his left leg heavily bandaged, along with a post that said “surgery went well.”

Gano broke a bone in the heel of his plant foot in a Week 14 win against San Diego, after which Panthers coach Ron Rivera compared it to a ballerina injury.
