Asante Samuel: Underwent neck surgery

Samuel (neck/shoulder) underwent neck surgery in April, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Samuel will have a check-up appointment in July. The 25-year-old free agent cornerback visited with the Saints on Monday, but he will reconvene with interested teams once deemed fully healthy. Samuel appeared in just four regular-season games last season due to shoulder and neck issues. He's aiming to return to the field in 2025.
