According to Tony Pauline of Sports Illustrated, Missouri wide receiver Danario Alexander had knee surgery on Tuesday. Alexander won’t be able to participate in next week’s NFL Scouting Combine, but wants to be ready for Missouri’s March 4 pro day.
Danario Alexander to miss combine
Will Spencer of NFL Draft Breakdown spoke with Alexander today and said the surgery was only a scope “to clean out some cartilage.” Some places are reporting that Alexander suffered the injury during Senior Bowl practice last month, but those are incorrect. The injury he sustained in Mobile was a hamstring pull.
Alexander has a serious history of injuries, including three previous surgeries on his knee and wrist surgery.
However, Alexander still led the nation in receiving yards in 2009 with 1,644 and yards per game at 137 per contest. He was second nationally with 107 catches.
Alexander is the second wide receiver in as many days to suffer a medical setback. On Wednesday, Georgia Tech’s Demaryius Thomas broke his foot.
