Hood Joins the List of Other Steelers to Have Offseason Surgery

Steelers defensive end Ziggy Hood underwent surgery to clean bone spurs out of his ankle, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. A first-round pick out of Missouri in 2009, Hood (6-3, 300) started nine games in place of Aaron Smith in 2010, totaling 20 tackles and three quarterback sacks.

Hood added 10 tackles and two quarterback sacks in the post-season. Six members of the Steelers, including linebacker James Harrison and wide receiver/”Dancing With the Stars” contestant Hines Ward, have undergone surgery since the Steelers’ 31-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV.
