Here is the play were Okudah was injured.
This is why top prospects shouldn't do these silly combine drills. Jeff Okudah got injured here, he had nothing to prove. https://t.co/zyCAe4ciG1

The injury must not be too serious because Okudah eventually returned and participated in the vertical and broad jump events.
As noted by Dov Kleiman, there is absolutely no reason why a top 5 pick like Jeffrey Okudah should participate in these drills.
