Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum after the combine and is expected to miss five months.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Dr. Peter Millett recommended Johnson undergo the procedure, and he will have the repair March 4. Johnson is expected to fully participate in the combine.

A potential first-round pick, Johnson originally suffered the injury in September but played nearly the entire season through pain.

"He wanted to play for his team last season and not let them down," agent Doug Hendrickson said.
