Former Mizzou lineman Connor McGovern leaves Senior Bowl with injury
Former Mizzou offensive lineman Connor McGovern’s Senior Bowl experience will be shorter than he’d like.
During the first day of the South squad’s practice Tuesday, McGovern suffered a injury during one-on-one drills. He was treated by doctors on the sideline and sent to the hospital, where he underwent an MRI that revealed a hamstring injury.
McGovern will return to Michael Johnson Performance in McKinney, Texas, to begin rehabbing in preparation for the NFL Combine, which will be held Feb. 23-29 in Indianapolis.
McGovern, a three-year starter for Mizzou — two at right guard and one at left tackle — is rated as the ninth-best offensive guard in the 2016 NFL draft by ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. He is projected as a late-round pick by CBS Sports.
