Francis Mauigoa to Undergo Additional Imaging on a Back Issue
University of Miami offensive tackle prospect Francis Mauigoa (back) will attend Combine Rechecks on Friday to undergo additional imaging on his back, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Mauigoa experienced discomfort late in the NCAA season while dealing with a back issue that Rapoport described as "minor." All in all, the injury doesn't sound too serious, but additional imaging could be beneficial for all parties involved. More testing will allow teams to gain clarity into Mauigoa's injury status and any potential injury risks. Meanwhile, it will benefit the lineman himself because he can use the test results to reassure teams that he is healthy going forward. As Rapoport notes, Mauigoa says he is symptom-free, but he has nothing to hide and is willing to put teams at ease by undergoing imaging. PFF's latest big board ranks Mauigoa as the #7 overall prospect and #1 tackle prospect in this month's NFL Draft.
