Sheffield was scheduled to meet with the media later on Sunday afternoon, but the injury could keep him away from taking with reporters. The former Ohio State star is also on track to run the 40-yard dash on Monday, but if the injury is serious, he may have to sit out.
It was unclear at the time what the severity of the injury was like, but hopefully it’ll be a quick recovery for Sheffield.
