Former LSU star BJ Ojulari suffers torn ACL at Cardinals training camp

There was optimism that BJ Ojulari would have a breakout Year 2 with the Arizona Cardinals after the former LSU outside linebacker and second-round NFL draft pick came on down the stretch as a rookie last season.

However, it seems Ojulari’s sophomore campaign has been cut short as he reportedly suffered a torn ACL during training camp on Friday, according to a report from NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe.

It’s a tough blow for Arizona, which was expecting Ojulari to play a significant role in his second season as a pro. The First-Team All-SEC selection in 2022 was the 41st overall pick in 2023, appearing in all 17 games with no starts.

However, he recorded 40 tackles and four sacks on the year, leading to some optimism he could play a bigger role this fall.
