Texas Longhorns alum Joseph Ossai, a third round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals as a linebacker and defensive end, is likely out for the year after suffering a meniscus tear.
#Bengals rookie DE Joseph Ossai is slated to have knee surgery this week for a meniscus injury that is feared to be season-ending, per source.

Brutal blow for Cincinnati and Ossai, a third-round pick who sacked Tom Brady and had five QB pressures in a stellar preseason debut.
Best put, this is every bit of a damn shame, as Ossai had begun to get hot in the preseason.
