Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mike Morgan underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a sports hernia that had been a lingering issue this season.
"Just finished a successful surgery; thanks for all the prayers and well wishes," Morgan wrote on Instagram. "Excited to start the rehab process and get back stronger than ever and play with my brothers again! Thankful for Dr. Meyers and his staff for taking great care of me. Don't let the smilie fool you; I'm in a lot of pain."
The Seahawks placed Morgan on injured reserve Monday.
