Vikings' Latavius Murray undergoes ankle surgery

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray underwent ankle surgery on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Murray dealt with ankle issues in the second half of last season, but didn't miss any time. The Vikings were aware he needed surgery before signing him to a three-year deal. It sounds like this is a minor procedure. Murray will likely miss all of OTA's, but is expected to be ready for training camp.

The Vikings were the worst team in the NFL in schedule-adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play last season, so Murray should help. Among the 42 running backs with at least 100 rushing attempts in 2016, he finished 12th in Rushing NEP per attempt.
