The Cincinnati Enquirer has reported that Kenny Irons, the Cincinnati Bengals' second round pick in this year's draft, has torn his left ACL. He sustained the injury last night in the preseason game against the Lions, and will have season-ending knee surgery.

This is a big blow for the Bengals, who were counting on Irons to provide a change-of-place to Rudi Johnson, and also to reduce the number of carries for Rudi in order to keep him fresh. Now with Irons gone for the year and Chris Perry also likely out for the first several games, the Bengals' RB situation just became very iffy.

Best wishes to Kenny that surgery goes well and he is able to make a full recovery.
