Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman underwent successfully surgery to repair his groin Tuesday, NFL Network reported.

Hardman posted a photo of himself earlier Tuesday, writing "Time for surgery."

He had the surgery in Philadelphia, per the report.

Hardman, 24, missed the final two months of the regular season with the injury. He returned to play in the AFC Championship Game but re-aggravated the injury and exited the game. He missed the Super Bowl.

Hardman finished 2022 with 25 catches for 297 yards and four touchdowns.

He made the Pro Bowl as a rookie with the Chiefs, who selected him in the second round of the 2019 draft. He has 151 career catches for 2,088 yards and 16 TDs.

Hardman's rookie contract is up, making him an impending free agent.
