Alabama running back Josh Jacob participation unlikely because of groin injury

Alabama running back Josh Jacobs will be limited by a groin injury entering the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine, and his participation in on-field events and testing is unlikely. Jacobs is the No. 1-ranked running back in the 2019 draft, but NFL Network reported he's dealing with an injury that might also impact his availability on the pro day circuit.

Alabama's pro day is scheduled for March 19. Jacobs gained 2,062 yards total offence with 21 touchdowns in three years with the Crimson Tide. He had 11 rushing touchdowns and gained 640 yards on the ground last season.
