The final day of the NFL Scouting Combine belongs to the offensive linemen. Unfortunately, the combine workouts ended prematurely for a couple of O-line prospects.
Two linemen suffered injuries while running the 40-yard dash.
Amarius Mims from Georgia suffered a right hamstring injury at the end of his 40-yard dash. He was able to hobble off on his own and got some treatment in the form of an ice wrap. Mims told Stacey Dales of the NFL Network that he was hoping to keep participating in the rest of the drills.
Shortly thereafter, Tulane’s Prince Pines fell to the Lucas Oil Field turf about 30 yards into his first 40-yard dash attempt. He was clutching at his hamstring and needed medical assistance to be cleared from the field.
Oklahoma center Andrew Raym also pulled up at the end of his run, but he appeared to be okay. Penn State OT Olu Fashanu, a likely first-round pick, also pulled out of further testing after tweaking a thigh, according to the NFL Network.
The injuries in a drill that is largely meaningless for the position should lead to a greater debate about having the linemen run just 10 yards.
