Florida DT Caleb Banks Undergoes Foot Surgery After Injury Found on Pre-Draft Visit

The procedure reshapes teams’ medical evaluations heading into April’s draft.

Overview

  • Caleb Banks had surgery last week to repair a fractured fourth metatarsal, according to The Athletic.
  • The broken foot was identified during a pre-draft visit after he initially sustained it the day before Combine testing, per ESPN.
  • Despite the injury, the 6-foot-6, 327-pound lineman posted strong numbers in Indianapolis, including a 9-foot-6 broad jump.
  • Banks is expected to return by June, which likely rules out rookie minicamp and most OTAs and could extend to mandatory minicamp.
  • Evaluators view him as a late first-round prospect with a top-20 rise now unlikely, while Texas A&M receiver KC Concepcion had a routine knee scope and is expected to be ready for rookie minicamp after missing the March 25 Pro Day.
