Before being placed on season-ending IR, Lions running back Theo Riddick had surgery on both his wrists. This according to a report from Detroit Free Press Lions reporter Dave Birkett.

Riddick was injured last December, and was placed on injured reserve. At that time, the team did not disclose that he had surgery on both his wrists.

The same report says Riddick is expected to be good to go for OTAs later this spring.

The Lions will also welcome back RB Ameer Abdullah from IR this season. He played in just two games before having season-ending surgery on his foot.
