INDIANAPOLIS -- In a day that saw several players, including Clemson defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and Florida's Jachai Polite, cut short their on-field workouts at the NFL's scouting combine due to injuries, Ohio State cornerback Kendall Sheffield may have suffered the most serious injury of all.
Sheffield, who came to the combine with many personnel executives in the league ranking him as a middle- to late-round draft pick, suffered what multiple sources said was a torn pectoral muscle during the bench press Sunday. The defensive backs invited to the combine went through the bench press -- repetitions of 225 pounds -- Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium and will have the remainder of their on-field work Monday, which is the last day of the combine.
