My wife says he just posted as much on Twitter. Anyone have more info? The Strib has nothing as of now.

Here's some tweets:

#Vikings WR Percy Harvin is undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.

Person with direct knowledge called it "minor scope." Asked if he'll miss time, source said "no way."

Just a clean out debridement procedure. No big deal, really. Should be fine in 8-10 weeks. Harvin is tough as nails.

Still, since he's had shoulder problems in the past, this is a little concerning.

As long as the rotator cuff is intact he should be fine. He is not a pitcher where this might be a bigger deal. If he does have a torn RC, then he is facing 6 months of rehab. Since they are not indicating that, the clear inference is that the RC is intact. MRI discloses the status of the RC the vast majority of the time prior to the actual 'scope.

Let's put it this way. For a WR, I would rather have his shoulder requiring clean out than his knee.
