Hines Ward had minor ankle surgery

Steelers WR Hines Ward underwent minor ankle surgery to remove bone spurs earlier this offseason.  He'll start working out again this coming week and will be ready for all offseason activities.  The fact that he had the procedure done immediately after the season is another sign that Ward wants to return for a 15th season in 2012.  It's still unclear if that'll be with the Steelers though.
