In what is probably the least surprising news you will read all day D.J. Knox has officially torn an ACL. He will be forced to sit out the 2016 football season while he goes through surgery and rehab. We first saw the news from Nathan Baird on twitter.

Apparently Hazell actually first mentioned this while doing a radio interview on Thursday. It is obviously awful news for Knox and for the Purdue football team as Knox was going to be a nice 2nd running back to give Merkell Jones the breather he will need as he tries to carry this team.
