Things are looking worse for former Tide great Reggie Ragland. Drafted by the Buffalo Bills number 41 overall in this past draft, Ragland was expected to be the starting inside linebacker for the Bills according to their coach, Rex Ryan. However Friday Ragland appeared to injure his knee in practice and the Bills are "very concerned".

It turns out they have every reason to be concerned as Ragland has been diagnosed with a partially torn ACL in his knee. The Bills are optimistic that it isn't a complete tear and Ragland is set to have a second opinion on Monday.

As a result of Ragland's injury the Bills were forced to sign two veteran linebackers Sunday, which pushed Buffalo to release former Alabama star Javier Arenas to make roster space.
Arenas was hoping to restart his career with Buffalo, having last played with the Atlanta Falcons, but now he'll have to try to catch on somewhere else.
