Jashon Cornell will spend his rookie NFL season on injured reserve.

The former Ohio State defensive tackle was placed on injured reserve by the Detroit Lions, who selected him in the seventh round of this year's NFL draft, on Thursday after he suffered what Lions head coach Matt Patricia described as a “pretty severe” injury in practice on Tuesday. According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Cornell “injured his left Achilles tendon during a one-on-one pass-rushing drill near the end of practice.”

“He screamed in pain as he fell to the ground while making a move on guard Kenny Wiggins,” Birkett wrote. “Trainers spent a few minutes examining Cornell's ankle and calf, and Cornell had to be helped to his feet and carted off the field.”

Cornell was one of three members of last year's Ohio State team, along with Jeff Okudah and Jonah Jackson, drafted this year by the Lions, who join Taylor Decker as former Buckeyes now playing in Detroit.
