TEMPE, Ariz. — For the second time in his three-year NFL career, Tyrann Mathieu is out for the season with a torn ACL.
Coach Bruce Arians revealed the extent of the injury at his Monday news conference.
The popular safety/cornerback — "Honey Badger" to his fans — injured his right knee after intercepting a pass in the final minutes of Sunday night's 40-17 victory at Philadelphia.
He tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee 13 games into his rookie season in 2013.
No longer having to wear the knee brace that slowed him in 2014, Mathieu was having an outstanding season and was the NFC defensive player of the month for November.
