After a grueling 15-game season, Ohio State's Doran Grant, Curtis Grant and Devin Smith ventured down to Mobile, Ala. to compete in the annual Senior Bowl where they would go up against some of the top competition in the country.
But after going through practices all week and receiving feedback from various NFL scouts, it appears Doran Grant will not play in the game after suffering a minor hand injury in practice, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Grant, a captain this season for Ohio State, was one of the Buckeyes' top defensive players. He was key in holding Alabama wide receiver and Heisman Trophy finalist Amari Cooper to just nine catches for 71 yards in Ohio State's 42-35 win.
Grant was second on the team with five interceptions and nine pass breakups, while also recording 63 tackles. He was named a first-team All-Big Ten defensive back by the coaches and was named second-team All-Big Ten by the media.
