Farmer was participating in a non-contact drill while running a route when he planted his leg and crumpled to the ground. He was attended to immediately by trainers and several teammates. An MRI on Wednesday revealed the tears.
Farmer was having the best spring of his USC career after battling an assortment of injuries in his first two seasons. By all accounts, he had solidified the role of No. 3 receiver behind starters Marqise Lee (http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/513334/marqise-lee) and Nelson Agholor (http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/531010/nelson-agholor).
