Kaba, a 6-foot-2, 253-pound junior, also missed most of the 2022 season after tearing his right ACL in Week 2 against Arkansas. This is his third major knee injury since 2019 after he also tore his right ACL as a senior in high school.

Really is a massive bummer. We’re pretty thin at LB, so he was primed to have a big season with a lot of playing time.

I wonder if he’s going to work to come back next season or call it and move past his playing days

With that many knee injuries in 4 years, you wonder if he'll have a chance in the NFL just based on prior injury.

You hate to see it.

Availability is a skill. His bigger problem is likely lack of tape, very few people get drafted that didn't play.
