Left tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu, who is seen as a possible top-15 selection in the NFL Draft, ended his workout at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis early on Sunday after sustaining a right thigh injury, according to the NFL Network.

Fashanu, who appeared in 29 games — with 21 starts — for Penn State over three seasons, ended the workout after his first 40-yard dash. He ran it in 5.11 seconds, with a 10-yard split of 1.77 seconds. Afterward, he was icing down the thigh, the report said.

NFL Network also indicated that Fashanu should be able to take part in Penn State's pro day on March 15.

College Football Network has Fashanu going to the Los Angeles Chargers with the fifth pick, while NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah rated him as the No. 12 selection.
