Speaking to local reporters Thursday, general manager Jason Licht revealed that second-year linebacker Kendell Beckwith underwent surgery to repair an ankle that was fractured last week in a single-car accident.

Beckwith likely will miss the entirety of Tampa Bay's offseason program. In fact, Licht conceded that the former LSU star's status is in jeopardy for Week 1, per the team's official website.

"Right now it's unfair to give a timeline as well with him," Licht said. "We're very fortunate that it wasn't life-threatening for him or the [driver]. We'll probably hold him -- he'll be out of OTAs, and in training camp we'll have a better idea of how far along he is."

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Beckwith.
