Report: Darnold had surgery on non-throwing thumb

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a ligament in his left thumb, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

The second-year passer isn't expected to miss any action this offseason, however.

Darnold suffered the initial injury on Oct. 27 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and wore a brace under his glove for the remainder of the season, according to Costello.

In 2019, the pivot played in 13 games - missing three weeks with mononucleosis - and finished with 3,024 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions.
