CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle D'Ante Smith is expected to miss the upcoming season with a patella tendon injury, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
The reserve lineman was injured in Thursday's joint practice with the Chicago Bears. MRI results are expected to confirm the exact nature of the injury.
Smith was the second Bengals player to suffer a patella injury in the joint practice. He went down roughly 10 minutes after running back Chris Evans suffered a torn patella tendon. Evans, a fourth-year reserve, will also miss the entire season.
