Desmond Trufant leaves game, questionable with arm injury

Desmond Trufant left the field against the Carolina Panthers late in the second quarter. Ricardo Allen went in to assist on a tackle on Christian McCaffery, only for the running back to move out of the way. The result was Allen’s helmet taking a diving tackle directly into Trufant.

Some are reporting that trainers are looking at Trufant’s arm.

Trufant walking to locker room under own power. He’s looking at his right arm. Blidi Wreh-Wilson in for Trufant.
