Philadelphia, PA -- (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Kevin Curtis underwent surgery Thursday to repair a sports hernia.

The procedure was performed by Dr. William Meyers at Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia.

Curtis suffered the injury during last Friday's preseason game against Carolina and will "be out for a while," according to head coach Andy Reid.

Reid has offered no timetable for Curtis' return but does expect the Utah State product back sometime during the regular season.

Curtis had a career-high 77 receptions for 1,110 yards and six touchdowns last season, his first in Philadelphia after signing as an unrestricted free agent.

Greg Lewis and Hank Baskett are expected to rotate at Curtis' spot during his absence.
