Injury notes for WR Marshall, DE Phillips

April 22, 2021

Injury notes for WR Marshall, DE Phillips … Not a whole lot of details, but NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah reported on a conference call earlier this week that LSU WR Terrace Marshall had some medical stuff that popped up at the combine that could cause him to slip a little bit at next week’s draft. Unfortunately, Jeremiah did not get into any specifics on the issues, but it should be noted that Marshall was sidelined for a month with a broken foot as a sophomore in 2019 and also suffered a season-ending leg injury in his senior year in HS that carried over to his freshman year at LSU. Meanwhile, it came out at the Giants pre-draft presser earlier today that Miami DE Jaelan Phillips, a top 20 prospect for next week’s draft, apparently was not at the follow-up medical testing in Indianapolis earlier this month. Phillips, a one-time blue-chip recruit at UCLA, actually retired from football a couple of years back because of concussions, but made a successful comeback after transferring to Miami. Needless to say, the health issue has been something of a cloud over Phillips’ 2021 draft prospectus and one would think that teams would have been hoping that he received a clean bill of health at the Indy medical testing.
