INDIANAPOLIS -- LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. provided the specific answer Saturday as to why his 2021 season ended in September and why he will not work out Saturday night at the NFL's scouting combine.
Stingley, who is Todd McShay's No. 7 player overall in the draft and second-ranked cornerback and Mel Kiper Jr.'s No. 6 player overall, said Saturday morning he suffered a torn ligament in his left foot -- a Lisfranc injury -- leading up to LSU's Week 4 game against Mississippi State this past season and had surgery Sept. 26.
"My rehab is ahead of schedule right now,'' Stingley said.
