Per sources, one of Duke's starting cornerbacks, Bryon Fields, suffered a torn ACL in yesterday morning's practice. He will be out for the 2015 season. Fields has been injured much of fall camp, and sophomore Alonzo Saxton II has been taking first team reps in his place.

Coming in to this season, Fields was expected to be the starting cornerback opposite Breon Borders. A true junior, Fields can no redshirt the 2015 season and come back next year with two seasons of eligibility left.

"The cruelest element of college football – and for all of college athletics – is injury, and we certainly feel heartbreak at this time for Bryon and his family," Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. "We know Bryon is in great hands with our medical staff, and I have all the confidence in the world in Bryon’s dedication and perseverance to overcome this obstacle. The challenge for a football team to lose a player with Bryon’s ability and experience is significant, but it’s one we’ll embrace."
