Where is he? I tried to find out if he was injured or something but can’t find any info

I talked with him late two nights ago and he seemed fine and excited to be there. Yesterday he had cryptic tweet and missed his media session and hasn’t run yet today. I don’t know the situation but it obviously seems like something might have happened to him or his family.
 
Just saw him in his sweats with the first group of WRs and QBs. He didn’t participate in any drills. **** I came on here to see if anyone had any information

Sucks that Berrios couldn’t work out but just means he has that much more to prove on his pro day.

Per Michael Irvin, he pulled a chess muscle while lifting weights.

He will work out during Pro Day on March 28th.

Thanks for the update reg. I had a feeling it was something like a soft tissue type injury.

I think strategically it’s a smart thing to do. Even with a soft tissue injury in the chest. If you think it’s going to affect things like you’re 40 time or your shuttle time which is important for a slot receiver like him. Don’t do it - those numbers are going to stick on you like like feathers on tar. Get ready for your pro day, and use those numbers. You go out and run a 40 not being able to pump your arms like you’re supposed to and put up a ****** time, it’s going to be hard to live that one down and that’s going to stick in the scouts minds.

I completely agree. Also, a lot of UM players notoriously do better in the NFL than they did at Miami, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because of previous coaching staff's (think Jamal Carter, Jon Feliciano, Ray-Ray Armstrong, Anthony Chickillo, etc...). Because of that, NFL scouts flood our Pro Day because they know they can get some future studs in the mid-late rounds.

Braxton will have his time to shine and I am confident that if healthy, he is going to do just that!

The Combine is nothing but a creepy meat market circus for pedophiles anyway

He will earn his spot at Pro Day
 
To reiterate what some other guys said, obviously the combine is a big opportunity with all of the eyes on you. Braxton could’ve solidified at the least getting drafted and likely moved up a round or two if he exceed expectations in the testing. With that said a bad time here can can keep in at the 7th round to free agency. Smart move not to take the risk since he got hurt and just wait for pro day. Even if he ran poorly here and did well at pro day some scouts just keep a bad performance engrained in their minds
