On Monday, Cameron Heyward posted on his Instagram account a photo of him in a hospital bed following a surgery with the caption “Ready to get back to feeling good!” Per Tom Pelissero, the surgery was a clean-up procedure on his groin/core muscle injury that he suffered in Week 1.
This comes as no surprise as he missed six games after a groin injury in the season opener. He had surgery back then to help him recover, but it was clear that he wasn’t at 100 percent during the season, so a clean-up makes sense. Heyward followed up his surgery announcement on Monday with a tweet saying “Done doing stuff on 1 leg that guys were doing on 2 legs lol Can’t wait to get back to myself.
