Atlanta Falcons cornerback Dezmen Southward underwent minor knee surgery on Wednesday, ESPN's Vaughn McClure reports.

Analysis:

Southward remains optimistic that he'll be available for the start of training camp, as the report notes that the procedure "doesn't appear to be serious." Now in his sophomore campaign, Southward hopes the injury won't affect his chances to competing for a starting cornerback job in new coach Dan Quinn's defense.
