On-field practices during OTAs are supposed to be non-contact, but they’re never non-risk.

According to Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Vikings defensive tackle B.J. Dubose suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during Wednesday’s workout, and is expected to miss the entire season.

The injury happened during an 11-on-11 drill.

A sixth-round pick last year from Louisville, he spent most of last year on the practice squad, but was promoted to the 53-man roster prior to the playoff loss to Seattle.
