One of Ohio State’s brightest stars had a little bit of a setback at the 2026 NFL Combine. It was pretty much all good vibes surrounding the Buckeyes at the combine until news broke on Monday that might not be the case for Caleb Downs.
Downs is a rising superstar in the NFL. He brings everything to the table with incredible intelligence, a high IQ, amazing instincts, and a true nose for football.
It was revealed on Monday that Downs’ medicals were flagged with a partially torn meniscus, and there is a concern about a possible “degenerative ACL,” which in some cases could lead to a premature tear, according to Cory Kinnan of Daft of Draft.
