Ken Anderson, who starred at quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals from 1971 to 1986, suggested via Twitter on Wednesday that he expects to make a full recovery - with plenty of golf in his future - after undergoing back surgery at Christ Hospital in Liberty Township.
The L 4/5 spinal-fusion surgery Anderson had involves a permanent connection of two or more vertebrae in the spine.
The Bengals announced last July that they would add Anderson and the late Ken Riley to their inaugural Ring of Honor. They were inducted in September along with Hall of Fame offensive tackle Anthony Muñoz and team founder Paul Brown.
