Ohio State declined to comment on the details of Elliott's surgery.
Elliott initially required surgery on the wrist in August after suffering an injury over the summer.
It did not cause him to miss any game action as he burst on the national scene during the Buckeyes' 14-1, championship season. The sophomore from St. Louis rushed for 1,878 yards and 18 touchdowns.
He rushed for 696 yards in the Buckeyes' final three games -- wins over Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game and Alabama and Oregon in the College Football Playoff. In Ohio State's title-clinching, 42-20 victory over the Ducks, Elliott gained 246 yards on 36 attempts and scored four touchdowns en route to offensive MVP honors.
Ohio State opens spring practice March 10 and will already be without the full services of quarterbacks Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett, who are recovering from injuries.
