Apparently he injured himself at Jaguars practice. No link yet.

There's a little video there below the blurb.

I have NFLN on right now and they just confirmed that Fowler is done for the season with a acl injury.

Schefter confirmed - ACL, out for the season. Man, what a bad break for that team

That really sucks. I like him as a player.

Brutal. ACL tears so damn often it's ridiculous.

So did he sign his rookie contract? I would see on the crawl that player x has signed his contract.

If he didnt, what happens to him?

I read that he signed an injury guarantee, which essentially means he can't be penalized in contract negotiations because he's hurt. Rookie deals are fairly standard and I don't think the Jags could refuse to sign him

Gads! That franchise is snake bit.

I think the Cards lost something like 4 starters, including a PBer, before opening day last year.

That really sucks. Hoping and wishing he has a full and speedy recovery.

I seem to remember about ten years or so ago there was a rookie who was killed in car accident before training camp started. Believe he might have been drafted by the Jets, but not sure. In light of that horrible tragedy, hopefully Fowler is able to return to his per-injury form and continue to play in the NFL for a nice long career.

Seems like there have been more and more injuries during OTAs, training camp, the pre-season and the season than ever before, and yet the NFL wants to add two more games to the season. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
