LB Allen, two others out of Senior Bowl … Every year, one of the big issues at the Senior Bowl is which players opt to pull out after initially accepting invitations to participate. Unfortunately, it happens every year and this year is no exception as Kentucky OLB Josh Allen, arguably the highest rated player to originally commit to the Senior Bowl, has reportedly opted not to play. And every year there is a debate whether pulling out of the Senior Bowl hurts a player’s grade in scout’s eyes: it doesn’t. Meanwhile, two other players have withdrawn from the Senior Bowl because of injuries in Michigan DE Chase Winovich and Michigan State RB LJ Scott. Both have ankle injuries. It is an especially tough break for Scott that he won’t be in Mobile as he has already missed much of the 2018 season with the injury after leading the Spartans in rushing in each of his first three seasons. Stay tuned as there will likely be more roster moves before practices at the Senior Bowl get underway next week.
