03:19 PM ET 01.21 | Alabama Crimson Tide offensive tackle D.J. Fluker is in Mobile this week for Senior Bowl practices, but the potential first-round pick may be forced to miss the game because of lingering issues. Fluker became one of the first underclassmen to receive an invite to the All-Star game thanks to a new rule that allows draft eligible underclassmen to participate if they have received permission from their school and already earned their degree. Fluker qualified along with Syracuse offensive lineman Jordan Pugh. The Alabama tackle says he will participate in weigh-ins on Monday and then test out his injured groin and calf during the afternoon's South squad practice. Senior Bowl executive director Phil Savage believed Fluker would leave the Senior Bowl on Sunday evening, but he appears ready to give it a go and see if his injuries will hold up throughout the week.
