Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso has suffered what could be a “significant” knee injury, G.M. Doug Whaley announced on Tuesday night.

The injury occurred while Alonso was training in Oregon, Whaley said in a team-issued statement this evening.

The club does “not have the details” on Alonso’s injury, Whaley said, but he noted that “early indications are that it may be significant.”

The 24-year-old Alonso had a standout rookie season for Buffalo in 2013, recording 159 tackles, intercepting four passes and starting all 16 games. A second-round selection last year, Alonso is a University of Oregon product.

Rookie Preston Brown, a third-round pick from Louisville, could be among the in-house options to fill in for Alonso.

UPDATE 9:32 p.m. ET: According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, there’s “fear” Alonso has sustained a torn ACL.

It appears the Bills’ worries about linebacker Kiko Alonso’s knee injury were well-founded.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Alonso is likely to miss the 2014 season after suffering a torn QCL.

Per Schefter, Alonso’s recovery timetable is 7-9 months.

Earlier Tuesday evening, Bills G.M. Doug Whaley announced Alonso, a second-year pro, had suffered a possibly “significant” knee injury in a workout.

One of the Bills’ top defensive players, Alonso was slated to play outside linebacker this season. Nigel Bradham and Preston Brown could be among the internal candidates to fill in for Alonso, who finished third in the NFL in tackles in 2013, notching 159 stops.

Not sure why I started looking, but I'm having difficulty finding out what the hell a QCL even is, let alone what it does.

Google keeps asking, "Do you mean ACL?" NO!


EDIT: Fuck! Never mind. I see why the Q is in order here.

I'm rarely serious.

But I did take hook, line, and sinker on that one, before I saw the other thread. Probably going with sleep deprivation as my excuse. Yep.
