Defensive end Aaron Kampman of the Jacksonville Jaguars will sit on the injured reserve bench for the rest of the season after suffering an injury at the end of practice on Thursday. Kampman tore his right knee anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
This is the second season Kampman ends early, after the last season he tore his left knee ACL.
His injury occurred during a non-contact drill.
As a result the team may lower its playoff expectations as Aaron Kampman was the best defender and pass-pusher of the Jaguars.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Kampman for a four-year free agent contract, worth 26 million dollars.
In order to fill the spot, the team signed rookie Nate Collins of the New York Giants for defensive tackle. The Jaguars also added Dre Moore to the practice squad.
Aaron Kampman is expected to have ACL replacement surgery soon.
