WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue football's air raid offense lost what was expected to be one of its major contributors.
Redshirt sophomore receiver Jahmal Edrine suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during last Friday's practice and will miss the season.
"You talk about a guy we had high hopes for and was showing a lot of promise in being able to be productive for us," Purdue football coach Ryan Walters said.
Edrine transferred to Purdue after spending the past two seasons at Florida Atlantic and had impressed during the summer and early fall.
For FAU, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Edrine redshirted in 2021 and last season caught 39 passes for 570 yards and six touchdowns a year ago, including a 39-yard reception in Ross-Ade Stadium during Purdue's 28-26 win over the Owls.
Additionally, redshirt junior lineman Josh Kaltenberger was carted off the field late during Tuesday's practice.
Kaltenberger played in all 14 games last season, including starting the final three games for the injured Gus Hartwig. Hartwig continues to ease back into the mix and was back on the field for certain periods during Tuesday's full pads practice.
