On the second day of practice for the East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Florida, Conrad suffered a shoulder injury. KSR sources confirmed that Conrad has returned to Lexington to be evaluated by UK physicians. The injury is considered minor and Conrad is expected to be 100 percent healthy at the NFL Combine in late February.
The play in question that caused the injury was almost a miraculous reception. Conrad was fully extended on a deep route, but could not reel in the reception.
Great effort by #Kentucky TE CJ Conrad, but he can’t hold onto the catch pic.
