Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin made his 2013 debut against his former team, the Minnesota Vikings, on Sunday. Harvin didn’t have a big impact on the field, but that is no surprise since it was his first appearance since hip surgery.

However, not only did Harvin undergo hip surgery, he also went an emergency appendectomy last year and had an undisclosed tumor removed. He unveiled the news on Sunday after the team’s big win.

From Brian Murphy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press:

Percy Harvin said in addition to hip surgery he had tumor removed during appendectomy last November before Vikings put him on IR

Correction on Harvin. Appendectomy was November in Minnesota; undisclosed tumor removed during off-season. He did not elaborate

Harvin did not give much information, but it is good to see he is finally healthy and able to make his way back to the field.

As the season progresses, Harvin will become more and more involved in the offense as he gets back into playing shape.
