James White suffered a hip injury Sunday during the New England Patriots’ Week 3 game against the New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium.
It didn’t look good, as the Patriots running back was carted off the field in the second quarter before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
White’s teammates, as you’d imagine, showed great concern, even though the extent of the injury was not immediately known. Said concern was evident on social media, too, where folks on Twitter responded to White’s potentially serious ailment.
