Preseason football claimed yet another key player on Sunday, as Chicago Bears wide receiver Cameron Meredith reportedly suffered a torn ACL in his team’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
After Meredith was carted off the field with a gruesome looking knee injury, Pam Oliver said on the FOX Sports broadcast that tests revealed the third-year receiver tore his ACL and possibly has additional damage.
#Bears WR Cameron Meredith is believed to have torn his ACL, per Pam Oliver on the Fox broadcast. Likely had additional damage, too. Too bad

You can see a video of the injury below, but be aware that it is somewhat graphic:

That’s obviously a major blow to Chicago’s offense, as Meredith caught 66 passes for 888 yards and four touchdowns last season and was expected to have a big role this season with Alshon Jeffery now out of the picture.
With all the significant injuries we have seen through three preseason games this year, the regular season can’t come soon enough.
