D.J. Hayden was released from the hospital on Wednesday following surgery to remove scar tissue as a result of last November's heart surgery.

Hayden underwent emergency surgery due to a severe injury to his heart.

Hayden's doctor has stated this scar tissue is not a lingering issue of the injury but rather a result of the surgery and is rather common. 

Hayden was the 12th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders.
