University of California center Alex Mack sprained his ankle on Monday, and it will prevent him from participating in drills this week in Indianapolis at the 2009 NFL Combine. “While preparing for the combine on Monday with my trainer, I suffered a sprained ankle,” Mack said. “The injury isn’t serious, but unfortunately, it is going to keep me from working out this week in Indianapolis. No one is more disappointed than me, as I have been working tirelessly to further prove myself as a first-round pick. However, I don’t want to perform at anything less than 100 percent. “I will complete my interviews here and return to my training in anticipation of a great Pro Day in Berkeley on March 18.” Mack is currently one of the few offensive lineman likely to be coveted by the Steelers in the first round of the NFL draft in April.
