The national TV audience that watched Ole Miss defensive back Kendarius Webster leave the field Monday night against Florida State expected bad news. On Tuesday, they got it.
Webster will miss the rest of the season with a left knee injury he sustained in the 45-34 loss against the Seminoles. The cornerback confirmed the news in a Twitter post Tuesday afternoon:
Although Webster did not specify the details of the injury, replays showed the leg and knee bending in a grotesque fashion.
To those who saw the incident and Webster’s expression of anguish while being carried from the field on a cart, the news was no surprise.
