New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead went down in the third quarter after being struck in his plant leg by Carolina Panthers linebacker David Mayo. Mayo drew a 15 yard penalty on the play, but Morstead was unable to take his feet after taking the big hit to his ankle and lower leg.
Morstead has been a mainstay for the Saints since being drafted in 2009, and is one of the few active Saints remaining to wear a Super Bowl ring from that season’s championship.
Fortunately, he was able to sprint off the field and was seen walking on the sideline.
