EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings rookie center Pat Elflein will undergo surgery to repair the reported fracture he sustained in his left ankle during the NFC Championship.

A source confirmed to ESPN that Dr. Robert Anderson, a renowned foot and ankle surgeon, will perform surgery on Elflein in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Anderson joined the Packers' medical staff last June and practices at Bellin Health Titletown Sports Medicine and Orthopedic, which is adjacent to Lambeau Field.

Anderson also has an office in Charlotte, where he previously served as an assistant team physician for the Carolina Panthers.

Elflein’s surgery is expected to take place on Monday.

Anderson has treated a number of high-profile athletes across multiple sports, including Cam Newton, Derek Jeter, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Eli Manning.

Elflein exited Sunday’s game with 7:22 to play in the third quarter. He left the locker room later that evening on crutches with his left foot in a walking boot.

The rookie center will be the second Vikings offensive lineman to undergo surgery due to injuries sustained in the 2017 season. Left guard Nick Easton had surgery to repair his fractured right ankle after he got injured early in the Vikings' 16-0 win at Green Bay on Dec. 23.

Coach Mike Zimmer confirmed Elflein isn’t the only player who will need surgery in the coming weeks and months.

“There are lots of guys that will have surgeries,” Zimmer said. “Nothing major.”
