USC's Maualuga limps out of combine

USC LB Rey Maualuga's scouting combine workouts were cut short by a leg injury near the end of Monday's 40-yard dash. Maualuga came up limping on his right leg at the end of his first attempt at the 40 when he took an awkward step after the finish line.

USC LB Rey Maualuga's scouting combine workouts were cut short by a leg injury near the end of Monday's 40-yard dash.

Maualuga came up limping on his right leg at the end of his first attempt at the 40 when he took an awkward step after the finish line. He suffered the injury after his run — as he was deaccelerating — and immediately took weight off the leg before kneeling down on the turf. Maualuga was able to gingerly walk off the field with a trainer.

"I could feel it for the past two weeks," Mauluga told the NFL Network's Scott Hanson in an on-field interview during NFL.com/Live. "I just wanted to come out here and compete with the very best. I wanted to show the coaches and scouts I could do everything. Now I'm just going to go to the trainer and get right and hopefully be able to do the Pro Day (April 1).

"I didn't want to come out here and use my hamstring as an excuse. Unfortunately, it's been bothering me, but I felt I could go. I wasn't pressured to do it. I thought I could go out and do the 40 and do it in a good time."
