Potential Eagles draft target Laviska Shenault won’t need surgery for groin injury

The Philadelphia Eagles have a need for a dynamic playmaker and one of the NFL Draft’s most athletic stars avoided surgery on a groin injury.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Colorado’s Laviska Shenault, one of the top wide receivers in the upcoming NFL draft, has been diagnosed with osteitis pubis — inflammation of the pubic bone — but won’t require surgery.

According to Schefter, Shenault suffered a similar core muscle to the Eagles DeSean Jackson, and league officials were nervous that it was a reoccurring injury.

Shenault has been rising up draft boards and is presumed to be a first-round pick in the latest mock drafts by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay.
