Ankle injury prematurely ends ex-Rutgers receiver Leonte Carroo's Senior Bowl week

Leonte Carroo's week at the Senior Bowl mirrored his senior season at Rutgers: The talented wide receiver excelled while on the field, but he was derailed by injury.

Carroo rolled his ankle while making a cut during Wednesday's practice for the showcase game for NFL hopefuls in Mobile, Ala., reaggravating the injury that caused him to miss two games last season, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

While the injury is not considered serious, it will prevent Carroo from playing in Saturday's game in front of talent evaluators from all 32 NFL teams.
