ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions receiver TJ Jones has undergone surgery to repair the shoulder injury that ended his breakout season after 14 games.

Jones posted to Instagram about the procedure on Wednesday, saying it "went great" and he would be back "ASAP."

"I promise you I'll be back ahead of schedule," he wrote.

Surgery went great today. Thank you for the well wishes and love. Positive vibes and a mindset to attack my rehab are going to be key in coming back ASAP! I promise you I’ll be back ahead of schedule! 💪🏾 — TJ Jones (@IamTJ_Jones) January 10, 2018

Jones struggled to find a consistent role his first three seasons in Detroit, catching 15 passes and 225 yards in 13 games. And then he faced heightened competition for his job in 2017 after the selection of Kenny Golladay in the third round of the draft.

But Jones packed on some weight at the behest of his coaches, then managed to carve out a nice role for himself as mostly a fourth receiver. He caught 30 passes -- doubling his career total -- for 399 yards and one touchdown.

Jones is a restricted free agent this offseason. Given how well and how reliably he played last year, it would not be a surprise whatsoever for Detroit to bring him back for a fifth season.
