Maryland outside linebacker Abner Logan suffered a "non contact injury to his ACL" and will miss the upcoming season, coach Randy Edsall announced on Twitter on Wednesday morning.
Logan, a redshirt junior out of Cambridge, Mass., was penciled in as a starter at outside linebacker in the Terps' new 4-3 alignment after spending his first three years in College Park as an inside linebacker. Defensive coordinator Keith Dudzinski said he was "excited" to see Logan back on the field in the new scheme during Monday's media day.
Redshirt junior Brock Dean, who has appeared in just one game — last year's opener against James Madison — in his career is listed as Logan's backup on the depth chart.
