Follow Us
New Orleans Saints took the Mercedes-Benz Superdome by storm as they won their week 8 clash against the defending Super Bowl champions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, bad news struck the Saints as head coach Sean Payton revealed that Jameis Winston has suffered a ‘significant’ knee injury, probably damaging his ACL.
Medical staff carted Winston off the field in the second quarter of the game after Buccaneers linebacker, Devin White tackled him down and was flagged 15 yards for it as he pulled Winston down by the shoulder area of his jersey. Winston’s awkward landing got his left leg pinned behind the linebacker, sidelining him for the rest of the game.

He’s got this infectious personality. And you’re just frickin’ gutted when you see anybody hurt. But watching him get hurt was tough.”
