The top cornerback at the NFL Combine will be a bit limited after suffering an awkward-looking injury during Sunday’s drills.

Okudah will not participate in any further drills as a result of the injury.
Per @KimJonesSports, #OSU CB Jeff Okudah won’t do drills after falling tracking a ball and taking a hit to the head and neck area. He may still do the jumps, though.

This is the risk at the Combine, even though Okudah’s injury does not appear serious. There are good reasons for some players to just skip the drills and do interviews.
The good news is this shouldn’t impact Okudah’s draft status. Plus, he did have a brighter moment earlier in the week.
