NFL Network Analyst Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that former Clemson football defensive end Austin Bryant had surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle in January. He sustained the injury on Saturday, Nov. 3 against the Louisville Cardinals.
Because of the surgery, Bryant will not be able to participate in the drills of the NFL Combine, which is slated to begin Tuesday.
Despite not being able to showcase his physical skills at the combine, Bryant will still be able to participate in the interview process.
The typical recovery time for an injury like this is around 4-6 weeks.
