Kyle Anderson underwent an MRI on his injured thumb Wednesday and was told that surgery is necessary.

“Dr. Urquhart says he has torn ligaments in his thumb and after reading the MRI and seeing the MRI he believes he needs surgery,” Kyle Anderson Sr. said. “We respect his opinion and judgment but are still going to have a second opinion.”

Anderson initially injured the thumb during a late-season practice and tweaked it again during a recent scrimmage for the McDonald’s All-American Game.
