The Eagles' already somewhat sketchy position at outside linebacker took another hit on Monday during their second day of training camp.Travis Long tore the ACL in his left knee almost a year after suffering the exact same injury, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
He will miss the entire 2015 regular season.
Long was to compete for the third spot at his position behind starters Connor Barwin and Brandon Graham, but his absence will now create more pressure on Marcus Smith, the Eagles' first round pick from a year ago into a greater contribution.
Head coach Chip Kelly noted during last season's training camp period that Long would have made his roster had he not suffered the injury then, which he also sustained during his career at Washington State.
