Bad news for the Chicago Bears today, as starting defensive tackle, and 2012 Pro Bowler Henry Melton, is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. Adam Shefter of ESPN was the first to report. "Bears DT Henry Melton tore his ACL - out for the year." — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 23, 2013 Henry Melton came under fire by fans and the media after his ho-hum start to the season. He had just one tackle in week one, then 2 more the last two weeks for a total of five. Week one was his first action after missing much of the preseason following a concussion, then week two against the Vikings he was doubled on more than half his snaps. He may not have had the stats, but the Vikes were sure cognizant of him. Source:SBNation
I avoided this thread like if I ignored it, it would go away... Melton going down is going to stress this D dramatically as the year progresses but sitting back & putting it in perspective, there's a ton of teams out there that have been decimated from injuries already. Things could be worse at this stage.
