Jets wide receiver Eric Decker, awaiting surgery to repair a partially torn rotator cuff, underwent hip surgery Tuesday, the team announced.
Decker's hip injury was discovered during a medical evaluation for his shoulder, which landed him on injured reserve last week.
"The hip surgery was deemed necessary during an evaluation that occurred when Decker was placed on injured reserve for a torn rotator cuff on October 12," the Jets said in a statement.
The hip operation could complicate his timetable for recovery. The Jets said Decker will have the rotator cuff repaired once he's off crutches but did not say when that will be.
