Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham had successful surgery to repair a back injury on Wednesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Friday. The surgery will keep Stidham out for “roughly” 12 weeks, Rapoport added in his report.
The Patriots placed Stidham on the physically unable to perform list prior to the start of training camp, which began Wednesday. Head coach Bill Belichick told reporters Thursday that Stidham would “miss a little time.”
Stidham was a full participant during organized team practice activities and minicamp practices this spring, in which he had some impressive moments.
