Lewis Cine, former Georgia DB, carted off field after suffering serious leg injury

Lewis Cine was 1 of several Georgia defenders to be drafted in Round 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft, going to the Minnesota Vikings.

He was playing for the Vikings against the New Orleans Saints in London on Sunday morning when he suffered a serious injury.

Playing on a punt return play Cine suffered a scary injury and was carted off the field shortly thereafter with his leg in an air cast:

They're getting the cart and an air cast for Lewis Cine, who's down after that punt return. Medical staff was attending to his lower left leg. #Vikings players are taking a knee on the field.

Here’s a look at the injury. Warning: It is a very severe-looking leg injury:

Hopefully, Cine is able to return to the field at some point, whether that’s this year, in 2023 or beyond. Cine entered Sunday’s game without having recorded any stats yet, though he was contributing on special-teams units.
