Dante Fowler leaves Jags practice on cart after apparent knee injury

The Jaguars made Dante Fowler their choice with the third overall pick of the draft with the hope that he’d be an immediate upgrade to the edge of their defense.

Right now, though, they’re holding their breath. Fowler had to be helped off the field at Jaguars minicamp after being hurt during an 11-on-11 drill.

Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports that Fowler was holding his left knee after falling awkwardly while going up against former Georgia tackle Watts Dantzler, who is trying out for the team during the camp.

Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports that Fowler was walking “gingerly” with two trainers and that a cart came to the field to take Fowler away from the trainers table.
