Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins underwent surgery to repair ligaments in his left thumb, NFL Network reported on Friday.

It appears the operation, which was characterized as "offseason maintenance," was a minor procedure. Jenkins is expected to be ready for offseason workouts next month.
