Jets’ Sam Darnold has offseason surgery on thumb

Error 0:

Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had a rough second season physically, so rough that he needed surgery this week.

Darnold underwent a procedure Tuesday to repair a ligament in his left thumb, according to sources. The procedure was performed by the Jets team doctors and he is not expected to miss any time this offseason, sources said.

Darnold dealt with the thumb injury for the final two months of the season. He originally injured it in a loss to the Jaguars on Oct. 27. Darnold scrambled and was hit and injured the thumb as he hit the ground.
