Tennessee Titans second-round pick Kevin Dodd underwent a procedure for a foot injury following the team's rookie minicamp, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The former Clemson pass-rusher reportedly had a screw inserted to repair a stress fracture in his fifth metatarsal, but is expected to return to practice in time for training camp.

Dodd enters his rookie season competing for an edge-rush role alongside veterans Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan.

While the missed time in OTAs will make for a minor setback, getting healthy ahead of camp should give him plenty of reps throughout the preseason schedule.

Dodd racked up 12.5 sacks and 24 tackles for a loss in his final season at Clemson. The impressive junior year was highlighted by a three-sack performance in a national championship game loss to Alabama, solidifying his stock as an early-round draft selection.
