Middle linebacker Jon Beason, who led the team with 160 tackles last season, had his arm in a sling on Friday following surgery to repair a tendon in his wrist. The surgery is considered minor and he should be back on the field in June as well, Fox said.
 
"It kind of started bothering me when I was working out, so I got the mri, and they said I needed to go ahead and get it cleaned out," Beason said. "I want to play pain-free next year and play all of them, so I'd rather do it now in the offseason."
 
Beason said he broke the same wrist when he was 10 years old.
 
"You never know when stuff comes back," he said. "This is a funny story. I used to be a quarterback, we were scrimmaging, and they called an all-out blitz. I had like three of them on my back. I was carrying them, and when I fell my hand was underneath me. It was a hairline fracture, nothing bad."
