Troy Niklas has minor surgery, another ankle injury, but the two are unrelated

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.
