Potential Eagles’ draft target feared to have major knee injury

Mock drafts. They can become outdated in an instant. Today on The Kist & Solak Show, we mocked the Philadelphia Eagles an interior defensive lineman at the 25th overall selection. Today we also received news that the player selected, Mississippi State’s Jeffery Simmons, may have to redshirt the 2019 NFL season.

From @mortreport and me: Mississippi St. DT Jeffery Simmons, projected to be a top 15-pick in April, suffered a knee injury during training that is thought to be a torn ACL, per league sources. A statement to offer clarity on Simmons' injury is expected to be released today.
