One of Alabama’s top NFL draft prospects will have to sit out the NFL scouting combine.

Deionte Thompson, one of the top safety prospects in this year’s NFL draft, tore a ligament in his wrist during his pre-draft training, underwent surgery Friday and won’t be able to go through drills at the combine, a source confirmed to AL.com.

Thompson is expected to be in a brace for about 10 days. Recovery is expected to take six to eight weeks.

A first-team All-American for the Crimson Tide last season, Thompson ranked second on the team with 79 tackles and also had a team-high four forced fumbles along with two interceptions.

The Thompson news was first reported by NFL Network.
