University of Hawaii defensive end Fetaiagogo “John” Fonoti, the only returning starter on defense, suffered an apparent injury to his left knee during today’s practice and was carted off the field.

Fonoti said an initial medical examination showed a hyperextension.
He said he suffered the injury when an offensive lineman fell on him during 11-on-11 drills.
Fonoti is scheduled to undergo an MRI today.
UH and Cincinnati enter the season with the fewest returning starters on defense among NCAA I-A teams.
