Longtime Philadelphia Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos underwent heart surgery on Tuesday to repair an aortic aneurysm that was discovered after he was traded to the New Orleans Saints on August 28.
The surgery went well, according to Eagles coach Doug Pederson, who opened his Wednesday press conference by saying, "I would like to just send a shoutout to Jon Dorenbos. Everything went well yesterday with surgery and he's resting comfortably. Just wish him and his family well, our prayers are with him and hope for a speedy recovery."
Dorenbos sent a message to his supporters on social media Tuesday before the surgery, which included the hashtags #philly, #thankyouNewOrleans and #savedbyaSaint.
