As I’ve said many times before, there are very few things scarier than non-contact knee injuries in football.
When a guy’s knee gives out without being touched, that’s always a really bad sign. That’s exactly what happened Tuesday night to King.
It looked like he planted his leg, and it just gave out on him.
This is the play where King was injured. Hopefully it’s a lot less serious than it looks. pic.twitter.com/pdPsYr0F7u

Hopefully, it’s not nearly as bad as it looked Tuesday night. King just announced his intention to return to the Hurricanes in 2021, and he’s one of the best QBs in America.
The last thing he needs is a serious knee injury that keeps him off of the field for a long time.
D’Eriq King is back on the sidelines in a brace and crutches…

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the situation simply looked a lot worse than it actually is.
