Jack Ikegwuonu has been placed on season-ending IR, according to ESPN. The fourth-round rookie sustained a knee injury while working out for the NFL draft.

Our View:Ikegwuonu was at one time considered to be a first-round talent as a cornerback, but an ACL injury prior to the NFL Draft Combine dropped his stock, and will likely keep him off of the field in 2008.
