Jaylon Smith had surgery to repair two torn ligaments in his knee on Thursday. And according to SI.com’s Brian Hamilton, a source close to the situation called the surgery a success.
Smith had the ACL and LCL repaired in his left knee. There was no sign of nerve damage, a rumor floating around since NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted it earlier in the week. But the immediate prognosis after the surgery is that Smith will be back to his normal self after rehabbing the injury.
“What we do know is there’s going to be a full recovery,” the source told SI.
