Virginia Tech CB Kendall Fuller out for the season
It has been a rough year for star college football defensive players and meniscus injuries.
Virginia Tech announced Wednesday that cornerback Kendall Fuller was done for the season because of a right knee injury. Fuller had surgery to fix a meniscus injury on Tuesday. He missed Saturday's game against East Carolina.
"We felt like it was a possibility he could play and be ok, but it didn't turn out that way," Beamer said on the ACC teleconference Wednesday via HokieHaven.com. "We certainly do what's best for him and his future."
Fuller suffered the injury before the season even started. He played in the first three games of the season but sat out Saturday's game in rainy conditions at East Carolina. Virginia Tech had previously classified Fuller as doubtful for the team's Week 5 game against Pitt.

Fuller was an All-American selection in 2014 as a sophomore. Before the knee injury he was considered a top NFL draft prospect if he chose to declare after the 2015 season. Because it's a meniscus injury and not an ACL injury, his draft stock shouldn't slide too much if he does decide to end his collegiate career.
"I'm not gonna talk about things we don't know right now," Beamer said about Fuller possibly still leaving for the NFL Draft. "We'll talk about that and make an announcement when we do know."
Arizona All-American linebacker Scooby Wright tore a meniscus in Arizona's first game of the season. Wright returned Saturday against UCLA but suffered a foot sprain against the Bruins. According to coach Rich Rodriguez, Wright is out several weeks.
UCLA LB Myles Jack is also out for the season with a meniscus tear. Jack suffered the injury against BYU in Week 3 and had surgery.
Fuller had 54 total tackles and two interceptions in 2014. He had seven tackles so far in 2015.
