More could be invited later

Greetings

The NFL has invited wide receiver Eric Decker and linebackers Simoni Lawrence and Nate Triplett to the Combine, which will be held in Indianapolis Feb. 24-March 2.

Decker, still recovering from foot surgery, won't be ready to take part in the physical portion of the Combine, but will be able to interview with teams. Both Lawrence and Triplett would figure to test well, as they are both athletic and fast.

Other players could be invited at a later date.
