After an exceptional performance by the New Orleans Saints tight ends room against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of their main targets suffered what looked to be a severe knee injury late in the game.
Foster Moreau was taken out of the game in the final two minutes of the game after taking a blow to his leg. Moreau it seemed was unable to walk under his own power after the play and had to be dragged out of bounds for assistance.
It was announced later that Moreau was carted into the locker room in an air cast which typically is a sign of severe injury.
Moreau had really come in the latter half of this season, specifically in the last five weeks. The Louisiana native was as good as a sure thing in those games averaging over 35 yards a catch and hauling in 15 of his 18 targets during that span. Moreau had served as the team’s security blanket for much of the year and came up with countless clutch plays when the team needed it. He ended the year with 32 catches for 413 yards, one reception and 7 yards shy of his career highs. He also caught five touchdown passes which tied his personal best.
A very unfortunate situation for the player. Hopefully he will be able to rebound from this at some point next season.
