Florida linebacker Jarrad Davis will sit out the drills portion of next month's NFL Scouting Combine, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday.
Davis, considered one of the top linebackers in this year's NFL Draft, is still recovering from an ankle injury that kept him out of the final three games of the Gators' 2016 season. Rapoport reported Davis will meet with NFL teams at the Combine but is expected to do a full workout — including the 40-yard dash — at Florida's Pro Day.

Davis had 60 tackles, including six for losses, and two sacks in nine games last season. He was one of the five finalists for the Butkus Award, given to the nation's most outstanding linebacker.
The complete list of Scouting Combine participants has not been released.
