Burton's career in jeopardy? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
- On the injury front, it seems the Rams came out OK with one notable exception. Receiver Keenan Burton suffered a patella injury in his knee and it appears to be a serious ailment. Coach Steve Spagnuolo would not go as far as to project how much time Burton might miss but it's safe to say it's a pretty serious injury. <br />
<br />
I've read up that patella injuries are a VERY serious matter, and can be career threatening. They do not know the extent of the injury just yet so everything could be alright just a slight pull. He didn't show any pain when he went down so maybe everything is alright, but I'm preparing for the worst. <br />
<br />
This breaks my heart to see, even with the Rams playing there hearts out today, and Donnie Avery hauling in 4 catches for 67 yards and 2 TDs, everything aside, this is the only thing on my mind. I'm praying that this is just a minor injury that will be healed and healthy and in no time at all but this is not looking good. Just can't believe this happened.<br />
<br />
The injury occured in the first quarter toss to the endzone to Burton which was intercepted by Usama Young of the Saints. Burton seemed to get tripped up in his own feet while trying to fight for the ball and not sure exactly what happened but it did. I found some pictures and have them posted below of the play.<br />
<br />
More to come tomorrow as I hear.<br />
