Support pours in for Jameis Winston after injury vs. Buccaneers
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston suffered an injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that forced him to be driven off of the field on a trainer’s cart. And, upon further evaluation, the Saints ruled him out for the game entirely.
The number of Saints teammates accompanying Winston in the trainers’ tent and helping him to the cart speaks for how respected he is. And reactions on social media flooded in for support of Winston after what looked like a very serious knee injury. He’s worked hard to earn the opportunity to start for New Orleans, and no one wants to see a player hurt like this. Here’s what fans and observers had to say on Twitter:

You just know this game means so much more to Jameis. For that to happen, I'm sick for him.

#Saints QB Jameis Winston carted off the field now. Winston got hurt following the Devin White horse collar tackle. After taking a few steps he fell to the ground while being assisted by the staff. Spent some time in medical tent with multiple teammates checking on him. pic.twitter.com/oIWxbOJriR

Watching @Jaboowins get carted off against his old team is just brutal.
Football can be so cruel sometimes.

Hope Jameis injury is not as bad as feared. As much as I don’t think he’s been great so far, he waited a year & he’s worked his socks off for the chance to be the #Saints QB. I respect that a lot. He got Smith back last wk, he just got Ingram & hasn’t even played with MT yet 🙏🏼⚜️

We love you @Jaboowins ❤️
