Alabama DL Quinnen Williams to sit out bench press at NFL Combine

Of the 11 players scheduled to represent the University of Alabama at the NFL Scouting Combine this week, three are dealing with injuries and will be limited.

Per reports from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, safety Deionte Thompson will not work out – due to having surgery on his wrist and his recovery time is six to eight weeks.

Running back Josh Jacobs (groin) and defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (finger) have decided to not participate in certain drills, in order to not have any further setbacks.

For Williams, he projects as a top-five selection.

The 6-foot-4, 295-pounder needed one season under Nick Saban to show the National Football League his capabilities.
