Report: Safety prospect Deionte Thompson has surgery, unlikely for combine

Safety prospect Deionte Thompson will likely miss the NFL Scouting Combine while recovering from surgery, sources told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

The Alabama star underwent the procedure Friday morning for a torn ligament in his wrist, according to Rapoport, who adds it is not considered a long-term issue. Thompson is expected to be one of the first safeties drafted in April.

He finished the 2018 campaign with 78 total tackles, two interceptions, and three forced fumbles.
