NFL: Eagles' TE Ingram has torn ACL in left knee


Associated Press

BETHLEHEM, Pa. —Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Cornelius Ingram has suffered a torn ACL in his left knee and is likely out for the season.

The team said an MRI scan taken Saturday revealed the injury he sustained on Tuesday.

The fifth-round pick missed his senior season at Florida after tearing the ACL in the same knee almost exactly a year ago.

The Eagles are now thin at tight end, with only veteran Matt Schobel and undrafted rookie Eugene Bright behind starter Brent Celek.

Also, receiver DeSean Jackson suffered a hyperextended knee during Saturday's practice. Coach Andy Reid said the injury was not serious.
