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

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston was carted back to the locker room with an unspecified leg injury during the second quarter of Sunday's game against his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

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.

Trainers and medical staff looked at him on the field before helping him limp slowly to the sideline and into the medical tent.
