Vikings' Latavius Murray: Has ankle surgery Wednesday

Murray underwent ankle surgery Wednesday, the Vikings' official site reports.

Analysis:

Per the Vikings, the issue was revealed during Murray's physical prior to signing with the team last week. The extent nor the severity has been revealed, but he's expected to be ready by the start of training camp, thereby wiping away a large portion of the implementation of the offense due to his absence from the offseason program. Nonetheless, Murray isn't expected to be a true workhorse in the vein of the player he's slated to replace -- Adrian Peterson -- but the 27-year-old boasts steady receiving skills, reeling in 91 of 119 targets during three seasons with the Raiders. With the knowledge of Wednesday's surgery, expect the Vikings to tab another RB in next month's NFL Draft.
