Wisconsin linebacker Orr out for season with ACL injury
Wisconsin sophomore linebacker Chris Orr had his season end before it ever really began.
Orr suffered a right ACL injury on the first play of Saturday's classic against LSU. He left the field and was able to walk, but did not return to the game.
Wisconsin tweeted Monday that Orr will miss the rest of its 2016 season.

Last season as a freshman, Orr racked up 46 tackles, half a sack, a forced fumble, and broke up two passes in 10 games, including six starts. Orr also had a career-high 14 tackles against Troy last September.
Wisconsin ultimately beat LSU 16-14, but will have a void to fill at the inside linebacker position moving forward.
