Josh Gordon Injured Trying To Make Tackle After Tom Brady Fumble
BOSTON (CBS) -- Patriots receiver Josh Gordon injured his left knee Thursday night against the Giants attempting to make a tackle following a Tom Brady fumble, and did not return.
Gordon tried to run down New York linebacker Markus Golden after Brady coughed it up at the New England 43, but wasn't able to stop him from finding the end zone. Gordon landed awkwardly as he tried to take Golden down, twisting his left leg in the process.
The receiver walked off the field under his own power and was taken to the medical tent. He didn't go back into the New England locker room ahead of halftime, instead riding the stationary bike on the sideline.
Gordon had just one reception before getting hurt, a first-quarter catch that went for seven yards. Losing Gordon will further deplete Tom Brady's arsenal, which was already without Phillip Dorsett, who was inactive with a hamstring injury he suffered Sunday against the Redskins.
