This is really terrible news. Jaguars rookie Dante Fowler Jr., the No. 3 pick in the 2015 draft, tore his ACL on Friday when he went down less than an hour into the first day of rookie minicamp, the team announced.

The defensive end’s left knee buckled during an 11-on-11 drill. He dropped to the ground, grabbed his leg as he rolled from side to side, and eventually got helped off the field. He was able to put some weight on the leg and was later carted to the locker room for tests.
Fowler has not yet signed his rookie contract. His deal is expected to be worth about $23 million, fully guaranteed, over four years and contain a fifth-year team option. He is expected to miss the entire NFL season. Really is terrible knowing he was only one hour into his first NFL practice.
