"Carl Lawson's injury is a little more serious than we first thought," Malzahn said. "We're hopeful we can get him back before this season is out, but I'll keep you updated from time to time on his status. Obviously he's an impact player. It has been really tough on him, especially going through (injury) last season and having another."

Lawson tore his ACL in the spring of 2014 and did not play last season.
