Galloway had shoulder surgery

Bucs receiver Joey Galloway underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair his shoulder injury, according to general manager Bruce Allen.

Galloway was ineffective in the Bucs'  24-14 loss to the New York Giants in the NFC wildcard game, catching just one pass before being forced to leave the game late in the fourth quarter.

Allen, who would not provide details of the injury, said the surgery will not prevent Galloway from participating in the off-season workout program which begins in March.

"I know what it is, but I won't give it to you,'' Allen said. "He should be fine.''

Allen said Galloway believed the injury wouldn't require surgery.

"Joey thought he could work out in the weeks after that game, but he was still having some pain with it,'' Allen said. "So he got it re-analyzed and thought the best thing to do was to just go (have surgery).''
