Indianapolis Colts rookie center Javon Patterson tore his ACL during organized team activities Tuesday and will miss the 2019 season.
Head coach Frank Reich confirmed the injury to Patterson, a seventh-round pick from Ole Miss.
Patterson, 21, started all 36 games in his last three seasons with the Rebels. The 6-foot-3, 307-pound lineman saw action at left guard, right guard and center.
The Colts were expecting Patterson to compete for a backup job on the interior of their offensive line this season.
