From ESPN:
Penn State linebacker Michael Mauti, a projected starter, tore his right anterior cruciate ligament in a Sunday scrimmage and will be out for the season, the school said in a release Monday.
Mauti will have surgery within the next three weeks.
While not a disastrous blow for Penn State, they will not only miss Mauti on defense, but also on special teams. Last season, Mauti made 26 tackles and forced one fumble.
What this does do, however, is put a little more pressure on Sean Lee. Ironically, Lee missed all of 2008 with the same injury.
Overall, the depth is there that this shouldn't be much of an issue for Penn State- just something to note.
