Deionte Thompson’s journey to the NFL has hit a snag. According to multiple reports, the former Alabama safety had surgery on a torn ligament in his wrist Friday and won’t participate in drills at the NFL Scouting Combine next month.
According to a report from AL.com, Thompson is expected to be in a brace for 10 days, while the injury will take six to eight weeks.
Thompson was projected by some to be a first-round pick in this year’s draft. He earned first-team All-American honors last season, recording 79 tackles, with 3.5 for a loss, to go with four forced fumbles, six pass breakups and two interceptions.
The NFL Scouting Combine will be held from March 1-4 in Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium. Thompson will also miss Alabama's Pro Day, which is scheduled for March 19.
