Jason Taylor of the Washington Redskins limped off the field Saturday night in a preseason game against the Panthers and then had to be carted to the locker room with an apparent right knee sprain.

Also, the Giants’ Osi Umenyiora was carted off the field in New York’s game against the Jets because of a left knee injury.

Jason Taylor – Right Knee Sprain
That’s all the Skins are saying for now. It certainly looked bad and the Pro Bowler was writhing in pain on the field and on the sidelines. We shall see if we get an update later. He was being evaluated on the sidelines and was carted off to the medical room a moment ago.

Umenyiora was getting an X-ray and the extent of the injury was not immediately known.

The 26-year-old, six-year veteran could not put any weight on his leg. He was helped off the field with his arms wrapped around the shoulders of two trainers.

Bad night for defensive ends.
