Philadelphia Eagles running back Ryan Mathews will have surgery on his neck to repair a herniated disk, head coach Doug Pederson announced Friday.

Matthews suffered the injury on a play at the goal line in the Eagles' 24-19 victory over the Giants on Thursday.

Per Philly.com:

Pederson called it a "pretty significant injury" for the Eagles' leading rusher (661 yards on 155 carries and a team-high eight touchdowns), who already seemed like a long shot to return for a third season with the team in 2017.
