Dudek tears same ACL, out for 2016 season

Illinois football wide receiver Mikey Dudek will miss the 2016 season with a knee injury, the team reported Friday. Dudek tore the ACL in his right knee — the same knee he injured last season — in a non-contact drill earlier this week.

Dudek, a second-team All-Big Ten honoree in his freshman campaign, has not played in a game for the Illini since November 2014 after suffering now back-to-back spring ball knee injuries.
