Linebacker Kiko Alonso Out For 2014 Season

Linebacker Kiko Alonso will most likely miss the entire 2014 NFL season.

The Buffalo Bills confirmed on Wednesday that second year player tore his ACL in his left knee while working out in Oregon.

ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reports an insider with the organization expects a seven to nine month recovery for Alonso. Alonso was already recovering from hip surgery to repair a torn labrum.  

Alonso was expected to move from middle to weakside linebacker in new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's 4-3 scheme. Eight year veteran Manny Lawson or newly drafted Preston Brown may get the start at the position instead.

Training camp starts for the Bills on July 18.
