This is how this feels like
Big blow to depth we already don’t have.
Probably a terrible feeling ending your season after like 3 snaps.
We’re cursed
Ugh. I feel for him. Seems like such a good dude and solid player
I thought meniscus tears were not season ending?
[Available DT’s for those wondering](https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/2022/all/defensive-tackle/available/)
If only there were tons of viable, proven NFL DTs available on the street right now. Sucks for the kid but he’s gonna get a whole year to rehab. If you’re gonna nuke your knee… might as well do it so you have as long as possible to rehab
This draft class looking worse and worse
Sorry to hear that. Meniscus tears are no joke.
Lol this shouldn’t end his season. He should just get it cut out, repairing this shit in a guy of his size is going to fail and end in ripping it again. He could have it scoped today and be back in less than 4 weeks
It happens. Plenty of DT’s we can pick up and put into the rotation. Now go get one.
Sad panda. Will be interested to see who they bring in to replace him.
That sucks, hate to see that for a promising rookie. Gg, bol to you guys this season.
