Source: Louis Delmas has torn ACL

It looked bad when it happened and it apparently is bad for Miami Dolphins safety Louis Delmas.

A league source tells me the intial report on Delmas, who went down in a heap during today's joint practice between the Dolphins and Carolina Panthers, is he tore the ACL to his right knee. Delmas is having an MRI today to confirm the initial findings.

Delmas is headed to the injured reserve list, assuming the initial report is accurate. There is no cap relief for placing a veteran player on IR.

[Update: A look at the Delmas contract shows this injury is going to cost him a big chunk of money -- approximately $1,359,275.
