Four weeks after undergoing surgery to repair an incomplete pectoral tear that he suffered while participating in the bench press at the NFL Scouting Combine, former Ohio State center Billy Price tweeted Friday that he is no longer required to wear a sling as he makes progress in his recovery.
Four weeks post surgery and out of the sling officially. Life may knock you down but how quickly you get up is determined by you

Price's unfortunate injury in Indianapolis prevented him from completing an on-field workout at last month's NFL Scouting Combine and also prevented him from participating in last month's Ohio State pro day. Although he is still widely projected to be selected in the first or second round of this month's NFL draft, he could come off the board later than he would have if not for the injury.
Still, Price has maintained a positive mindset, as he expects to make a full recovery from the injury in time to participate in his NFL team's training camp this summer.
"You’re going to have to really put a bullet between us Ohio State guys’ eyes to put us down," Price said at the combine after suffering his injury.
