Dial sustained a ruptured ACL during Monday's training camp practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the worst case scenario for Dial, who will now miss the entire 2025 season as he recovers. As he works toward a return in 2026, his absence could create additional opportunities for rookie seventh-rounder Kobee Minor.

Dial (concussion) practiced in full Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Dial was diagnosed with a concussion during the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Bears. He was able to increase his participation across practice this week, and he has been cleared by an independent neurologist ahead of Sunday's game. The rookie sixth-round pick has mostly played on special teams this season and has logged four tackles (two solo) and one forced fumble across 10 regular-season games.
