Marshon Lattimore’s injury may not impact his draft stock
After former Ohio State cornerback Marshon Lattimore suffered a hamstring injury, it seemed like a potential blow to a probable top-10 pick. Because Lattimore has dealt with hamstring issues in the past, another injury could have seriously harmed his stock — especially in a deep cornerback class.
However, Adam Schefter later reported that Lattimore’s injury was not serious and that the cornerback would be ready for his March 23 pro day.
Marshon Lattimore's hamstring "tightened up on him, it's nothing serious," per source. But he is expected to be ready for March 23 pro day.

Lattimore later clarified that it was in fact a hip flexor injury, not a hamstring.

After a solid combine in which he ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash, put up a 132-inch broad jump and performed well in other drills, there doesn’t seem to be much that can separate Lattimore from being the top cornerback in this draft.
