Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery helped the Eagles snatch their first Super Bowl title last season, but he was playing through pain.

According to NFL.com, Jeffery competed last season with a torn rotator cuff, and he underwent successful shoulder surgery Wednesday.

Jeffery, 28, hauled in 57 receptions for 789 yards and nine touchdowns last season — his first in Philadelphia. He also caught 12 passes with three touchdowns during the postseason.

After impressing the Eagles, Jeffery signed a four-year, $52 million contract extension during the season. He was set to become a free agent this spring after initially signing just a one-year deal with Philadelphia.

Jeffery built a solid rapport with Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz last season, and he should continue to grow in the Eagles offense.
