Brazzell had been dealing with knee soreness over the prior week before Wednesday's practice, but he returned to the field and quickly suffered a knee injury that put him on the turf in pain and required a cart to take him to the locker room. There was optimism at first, as he was diagnosed with a moderate LCL teat with a projected recovery timetable of up to 8 weeks. There was a change of plans to that on Thursday, per The Athletic's Joe Person. Brazzell is now going to have season-ending surgery to repair the LCL that will end his season.
