Atlanta Falcons quarterback Bobby Hebert will undergo surgery to repair a damaged tendon in his throwing arm.
Hebert said Monday that the tendon is frayed at the end and will have to be cleaned up and partially reattached.The quarterback's right arm was examined last week in Los Angeles by Dr. Frank Jobe, the Dodgers team physician. He said there is no serious damage to the tendon, but that it would heal better with surgery.
The Falcons said the surgery may be performed next week.
