Former Arizona State wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is considered a potential first-round pick in the NFL's upcoming 2020 draft, underwent core-muscle surgery Tuesday, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Garafolo noted that Aiyuk had been dealing with the injury for a few months and decided to have the surgery now with offseason team activities (and all other offseason programs) suspended because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The 6'1" Aiyuk had 65 catches for 1,192 yards and eight touchdowns in 12 games last season. He never dropped a pass of 20 yards or more, per Pro Football Focus.
