Former Alabama defensive back Cyrus Jones undergoes open-heart surgery

Some scary news came across the football world on Thursday as former Alabama defensive back and current Denver Broncos return man Cyrus Jones underwent successful open-heart surgery in Denver. Jones shared a picture of himself on Instagram Wednesday where he provided the news of his surgery.

“I couldn’t believe what he had just said,” Jones wrote in the post when his doctor informed him of needing to undergo the procedure.

When my doctor told me I would need open heart surgery I couldn’t believe what he had just said. Especially for something that I had been living with my whole life.
