J.K. Dobbins Undecided on Working Out at NFL Scouting Combine After Suffering “Very High Ankle Sprain” in Ohio State's Loss to Clemson

INDIANAPOLIS – Nearly two months removed from Ohio State’s loss to Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinals, J.K. Dobbins still hasn’t fully recovered – physically or emotionally.

During his interview session at the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday, Dobbins said he suffered a “very high ankle sprain” in the Buckeyes’ loss to the Tigers. He’s only been able to train for the combine for a few weeks and still isn’t quite fully recovered from the injury, so he’s uncertain whether he will participate in on-field workouts with the other running backs on Friday.

“If I’m not 100 percent, then I don’t want to go out there and not be 100 percent and not show my full potential,” Dobbins said.
