Cardinals second round rookie tears MCL vs Raiders
In the week one preseason game Thursday night the Cardinals lost their rookie second round pick to a serious injury.
The Arizona Cardinals had a disappointing preseason outing against the Oakland Raiders, as their rookie guard Chase Bisontis suffered a significant injury. During the third quarter of the game, QB Gardner Minshew attempted to pass, and in doing so, Bisontis went down awkwardly and injured his knee. The following day, MRI results confirmed that Bisontis had torn his medial collateral ligament (MCL), a tear that will necessitate surgery for repair.
The second-round draft pick from Texas A&M, who was selected 34th overall, will be sidelined for several months. While the injury spared his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the setback means he will likely have to wait until the following season to vie for a spot on Arizona's roster. The loss of a promising young player in the preseason is always disheartening, but Bisontis is expected to make a full recovery and resume his career next year.
