Arizona Cardinals tight end Troy Niklas has struggled with injuries since he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. He missed another practice on Wednesday during mini-camp and is going to have surgery, but the two are not related.
He tweaked his ankle and sat out the final practice of mini-camp. It was not the same ankle he had surgically repaired last season when he severely sprained it, landing him on season-ending injured reserve. More importantly, it isn't anything to worry about. "It's not that bad at all," Niklas said.
He also is having surgery, but on the original ankle.
