"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Minnesota linebacker&amp;nbsp;Nick Rallis&amp;nbsp;has sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament, making him the fifth Gopher this season to be lost to ACL injuries, according to the &lt;em&gt;St. Paul Pioneer Press&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The injury occurred in the first quarter of Minnesota's 35-24 win over Middle Tennessee State on Saturday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SI&amp;nbsp;Power Rankings: FSU No. 1 no more&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rallis, a redshirt sophomore, joins&amp;nbsp;defensive tackle Scott Ekpe, tight end Duke Anyanwu, linebacker Cody Poock and offensive lineman Jared Weyler as Gophers who have sustained ACL injuries.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ekpe and Poock were starters. Rallis had played in both of Minnesota's first two games this season.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Tough thing is he worked so hard and has really, really played well,\" coach Jerry Kill said.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ELLIS:&amp;nbsp;NCAA does right by ending Penn State's sanctions&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;True freshman LB Everett Williams replaced Rallis on Saturday and is expected to play this week against TCU as well. Williams had been a planned redshirt before the injuries.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rallis is the younger brother of former Gophers captain Mike Rallis.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Molly Geary&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
