Respectfully disagree. He is a fifth year captain and 2X sack leader. He made a great play in Yankee Stadium v. Miami, and it led to the A Wright INT on the next play. One of many special plays by a more than special player.

Zaire Kitchen had same thing happen

Rutgers safety Zaire Kitchen hoping for second straight injury-free season
Mitsu Yasukawa/The Star-LedgerZaire Kitchen doesn't mind all the treatment he undergoes to stay healthy -- 'treatment is my friend,' he says. NOTEBOOK The knees still creak every now and then, but that's really the only time that Zaire Kitchen is...
IIRC back then (60s, very early 70s) if you had ACL surgery your draft status was changed to 4F.
Okay, I can dig that. Hopefully they can rally and get past it...
He's a big loss for the defense but we have the guys on defense to still win games. And hopefully the offense scores more this year.
Dconifer is right about this not being a fatal loss. It definitely is a blow, though. Next man up!
Probably the best defender overall on the team. He seemed to have a real nose to understand the opponents play and be in the right place at the right time. His lateral moves are incredible. Hopefully he comes back next year and then on to the big leagues. As Greg says "Next man up"
This is where quality depth will come in to play. Mo gone is a big loss, but next person needs to step in with a big brass set and assume the role.
^^^ this ^^^ my first thought.. how it will affect his future.. 2nd thought.. how it affects us. Toure is in a tough spot next year.. they say it takes 9 months to recover.. that means next Spring he may have to test it out for football... but if he injures it again.. it would be hard to get drafted.. which would put him in the too-much-risk of injury for many teams to invest in his future. Real tough spot. Praying for the best... love the way he plays.
I assume he will be sent to HSS in Manhattan.. world-class place. But I'd also imagine some New jersey surgeons would practice there.. so same-same.
HSS is reputed to be among the best in the world. But I would’ve guessed that RU athletics has arrangements with New Brunswick area surgeons, perhaps docs affiliated with the med school.
Actually they have a top orthopedic guy associated with the program. I've met him a few times.
Devastating news. Feel bad for Mohamed ….twice now in 3 years.
Hopefully he can recover and regain his old form.
Our team just seems snake-bit. It seems every season we lose a Top 5 player in the program.
Great opportunity for Walker or Wright to step in and make his mark.

Dam, my thing is I know how much these kids have invested in an NFL opportunity. Idk what his NFL draft potential was last year but he came back to school to win and to better position himself for that. With him and Powell out for now, LB went from the position group I was most confident in to now being a question mark. Smh

My ONLY concern is with Mo and his future. Best wishes on a speedy and full recovery.
