New York Jets safety Marcus Maye underwent arthroscopic surgery on his ankle after the season, according to a published report Thursday.

Maye sustained the injury during the Jets' season finale against the New England Patriots. The New York Daily News reported that Maye had the surgery and is already running, well ahead of the team's offseason program.

The 24-year-old collected 79 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble in 16 games since being selected by the Jets in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Maye joined fellow safety Jamal Adams in playing on 95 percent of the team's defensive snaps last season.
