Matt Corral is still recovering from the ankle injury he suffered in the Sugar Bowl, and because of that, Corral has updated his pre-draft workout plans.
Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported that “Corral won’t throw this week at the combine as he continues to work his way back from an ankle injury suffered in the Sugar Bowl, a source said. Corral resumed light throwing two weeks ago and the plan is to be full-go for pro day March 23. Projected as a high pick, Corral only played in the Sugar Bowl because he’s so competitive, and it’s killing him not to participate here. But it was high ankle sprain with a 6- to 8-week recovery. I’m told he’s ahead of schedule — just not enough time to prepare to work out here.”
Corral suffered the injury in the first quarter, and he was carted to the locker room for X-rays and later returned to the sideline on crutches. It turned out, the injury was not as bad as initially feared, and his draft stock was not significantly impacted
Corral was one of the most exciting players in college football in 2021, as he passed for 3,339 yards and 20 touchdowns to go with 597 yards and 11 TDs rushing.
