One of the more intriguing pass-rushing prospects of the 2022 draft suffered a major injury. Michigan pass rusher David Ojabo, projected to be drafted in the first round in April, has torn his Achilles, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. - The Arizona Cardinals were a team connected to Ojabo in many mock drafts. - His recovery time could be about six months. - That could mean he is able to play at some point in the regular season his rookie year. However, he will not have gotten any offseason reps. - This is a major blow to Ojabo’s draft stock. The sure first-rounder might not get selected in Round 1. - The Cardinals have the 23rd pick in the first round. If he is on the board, would they pass on him because of the injury? - That will become an interesting development to watch in the next month. - - List - - Cardinals' 2022 free agency tracker - - - - - - - Listen to the latest from Cards Wire’s Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red.
