Illinois WR Mikey Dudek Out For Season With Torn ACL

Welp.

Sophomore wide receiver Mikey Dudek will miss the 2016 football season with a torn ACL in his left knee. It's the same ligament in the same knee that caused Dudek to miss the 2015 campaign. The injury was announced ironically on the same day he suffered it a year ago.

He was held out of practice this week with a reported knee injury, and initially head coach Lovie Smith made no comment or acknowledgement of Dudek's condition.
