Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff underwent season-ending surgery for a high-ankle injury earlier this week. The surgery raises concerns for his draft prospects, impacting the Seattle Seahawks' plans as they consider selecting him in the 2027 NFL Draft. Duff is expected to resume football activities in January but will likely miss the NFL Scouting Combine.
