INDIANAPOLIS -- UCLA defensive end Takkarist McKinley, one of the most highly-rated edge rushers in this year's NFL draft, said he will have surgery on a troublesome right shoulder injury Monday and his recovery time will be "four to six months."
McKinley said Saturday at the scouting combine that he will do all of the drills in Indianapolis, including the bench press Saturday as well as the on-field workout for the defensive linemen on Sunday. McKinley, a fast riser in the pre-draft evaluation who had 10 sacks last season, said he's played with the injury for almost two seasons, but that the extent of it was discovered in recent weeks.
