Jameis Winston carted off in tears with devastating knee injury (Video)

Jameis Winston went down with an awkward leg injury on Sunday against the Buccaneers but how long will the quarterback be out of action for the Saints. 

In a revenge game for Jameis Winston, the New Orleans Saints quarterback suffered a devastating injury that looks quite serious.

At the end of the first half trying to scramble for a first down, the veteran signal-caller was dragged down awkwardly from behind.

After taking the hit, Winston tried to walk it off but went back to the turf where he was checked out by the medical staff and then helped to the sidelines.

Things don’t look good for Winston. He was being carted off the field with teammates coming over and giving him handshakes and high-fives while he was in tears, which is rarely a good thing in this situation.

At this point, it would be shocking if he wasn’t out for a significant amount of time, if not the rest of the season.
