Bears DT Henry Melton has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL, ending his season.
A key cog as the three-technique dominator in the Bears Cover-2 scheme, the Bears are going to feel the absence of Melton in a big way. He graded out as ProFootballFocus' No. 7 defensive tackle last year, racking up six sacks and going to the Pro Bowl. Nate Collins, Stephen Paea and possibly Zach Minter are all going to have to step up. It's also a severe blow to Melton's wallet. He was playing this year on a one-year, $8.45M franchise tender. Now Melton will hit unrestricted free agency having to prove his health.
