Lions AFL player Claye Beams ruptures ACL April 10, 2013 - 6:46PM Scans on Wednesday afternoon confirmed Brisbane Lions midfielder Claye Beams had ruptured his ACL. The injury, to his left knee, was sustained earlier in the day during training. Dean Warren, Lions general manager - football operations, said the injury was a huge disappointment for Claye and the club. "Claye had an outstanding pre-season and was consolidating his position in our best 22 so, understandably, he is devastated by this setback," Warren said. We are certain Claye's strong character will get him through this tough period and that he will approach his rehabilitation with absolute professionalism. The 21-year-old has played 15 senior games for the Lions, including the opening two rounds of this season.
