Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry — a former star at Little Rock Pulaski Academy and the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville — suffered a torn knee ligament Tuesday and will miss the 2018 season, the Chargers announced.
Henry tore an anterior cruciate ligament, according to the Chargers. The rehabilitation process for such an injury is usually nine months to a year.
Henry went down untouched when he was injured during a training session, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported. Schefter also reported Henry will get a second medical opinion Wednesday on the injury.
Henry was a second-round NFL Draft pick by the Chargers in 2016 after his junior season at Arkansas.
