Louisville’s offense and special teams took a double-hit earlier this week with a single loss.
Bobby Petrino confirmed that Devante Peete will miss the entire 2017 season after being diagnosed with a torn ACL in his right knee. No details of what led to the wide receiver’s season-ending injury were detailed.
“He has a great attitude, he’s a great worker and will be back,” the Cardinals head coach said.
The 6-6 Peete caught four passes for 70 yards last season as a sophomore. He also had 10 tackles on special teams and blocked a punt. The junior is a special teams captain for the Cardinals.
Peete has yet to use his redshirt, meaning he’ll have two years of eligibility remaining beginning with the 2018 season.
