Jan. 6, 2013 - 2:30 PM ET

Vikings RE Jared Allen will undergo offseason shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum.

It's the first surgery of any kind for Allen in his nine-year NFL career. Allen says he doesn't know when he tore the shoulder up, but he played with it for much of the season. Bum shoulder and all, he still recorded a respectable 12 sacks. Allen will play in the Pro Bowl on January 27 and then undergo the procedure shortly after. He should be fine for training camp.
