New Orleans Saints QB Jameis Winston carted off with injured knee after horse-collar tackle

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston was carted back to the locker room with a knee injury during the second quarter of Sunday's 36-27 win against his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He was officially ruled out after halftime.

Winston was injured during a horse-collar tackle by Buccaneers linebacker Devin White -- who was flagged 15 yards for pulling Winston down by the shoulder area of his jersey, forcing Winston to land awkwardly. Winston's left leg got pinned behind him as he hit the turf.
