Last month it was reported that former Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was injured while helping a friend move.
Information about the incident, as well as updates on his health, were few and far between, besides rather vague statement claiming the injury was to his thigh and was not major.
Ruggs was the first wide receiver selected in the 2020 NFL draft, the No. 12 overall pick by the Las Vegas Raiders.
Today, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that his sources tell him the injury that occurred while being “pinned between a trailer and a car while helping a friend move.” The injuries he sustained were minor, as they only required stitches.
Raiders’ first-round pick Henry Ruggs, who was injured last month when he got pinned between a trailer and a car while helping a friend move, got stitches in his thigh but suffered no muscular damage and is expected to be ready for training camp whenever it begins, per source.

As Schefter mentions, Ruggs is expected to be fully ready by the time training camp rolls around.
