Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert to undergo ankle surgery

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert will undergo surgery on his ailing left ankle, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Eifert, 25, suffered the injury nearly four months ago in the Pro Bowl and it hasn't healed.

The upcoming surgery is expected to sideline Eifert for approximately three months, which means he will miss a large chunk of training camp.

Eifert caught 52 passes for 615 yards and 13 touchdowns last season.

Cincinnati picked up Eifert's fifth-year option in April.
