Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - USC defensive end Devon Kennard tore his chest muscle during a weight training session and may miss the entire 2012 season, according to reports.

The 6-foot-3, 260-pound senior made 29 tackles last year.

"Appreciate all the love and prayers... Don't worry about me too much, I was born to #FightOn after all," Kennard said on his Twitter account.

Kennard will likely have surgery and take a redshirt year, which means he will be eligible to play again in 2013.
