Reports: Kiko Alonso Could Be Done for Season

Eagles linebacker Kiko Alonso was scheduled to have tests on his injured left knee Monday morning, and according to reports, it doesn't look too promising.

Alonso left Sunday's game against the Cowboys in the second quarter with a left knee injury and did not return. That is the same knee that Alonso missed all of last season after tearing the ACL in it.

According to FOXSports' Mike Garafolo, Alonso's season could be finished just as it was starting.

Following tests today, there's a possibility Eagles LB Kiko Alonso will be lost for the season with a knee injury, sources say.

Still some evaluation and conversation that needs to take place on Alonso, so nothing's been decided. But his season is in jeopardy.

While Garafolo is reporting that no decision has been made yet, it doesn't sound too good for Alonso and the Eagles.

Alonso was one of the Eagles' biggest offseason acquisitions, coming over in the trade that sent LeSean McCoy to the Bills.

The 24-year-old sat out the entire 2014-2015 season after tearing the ACL in his left knee during the offseason while working out. But Alonso, the 46th overall pick in the 2013 draft, was superb in his rookie season, finishing third in the league in tackles with 159. The Eagles had hoped he could return to his rookie form, but are likely now just hoping he can return.

Alonso is currently in the third year of a four-year $4.3 million contract, and will earn $745, 000 this season.
