Tests have confirmed that Bengals’ rookie RB Kenny Irons suffered a season-ending left knee injury during Thursday night’s preseason game at Detroit, head coach Marvin Lewis said today.

Lewis said the diagnosis was a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Lewis said the Bengals’ medical staff anticipates a full recovery for Irons, and that Irons will be ready to participate in next spring’s mini camps and OTA practices.

Irons, from Auburn, was Cincinnati’s second-round selection in the 2007 NFL draft.
Well that sucks. Maybe we should not play pre-season in Detroit. (Right Kijana Carter?)
