star underwent surgery Friday to repair his torn ACL.
Barkley's mother, Tonya Johnson, posted a picture of the running back on Instagram, via SNY.tv:
ESPN's Jordan Raanan, The Record's Art Stapleton and Kim Jones of NFL Network provided more information on the surgery, which took place in Los Angeles:
Art Stapleton @art_stapletonThere was a delay in Saquon Barkley's surgery, but this plan was calculated. Was not just to reduce inflammation in the injured knee. The belief here is that improving the strength of the knee before the procedure helps accelerate the rehabilitation and recovery post-surgery.
