Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes it was a tightrope procedure, which should accelerate Slater's return from a high-ankle sprain.
Slater, the No. 13 overall pick of the 2021 draft, missed all of last season due to a torn patellar tendon suffered in training camp.
This is now the third season significantly impacted by injury for Slater, who also missed much of the 2022 season with a torn biceps.
