Indianapolis Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton will miss at least three games after being placed on injured reserve, per Mike Wells of ESPN.
General manager Chris Ballard announced Wednesday the wideout had successful surgery on his neck, which will give him "instant relief."
Ballard added that Hilton will be back "sooner than later."
The 31-year-old was already set to miss time with a back and neck injury that cropped up late in the preseason. He has not played a full season since 2017 but was in the lineup for 15 games despite dealing with nagging injuries in 2020.
