Patriots rookie receiver JaQuae Jackson was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s preseason game against the Eagles.
Jackson was injured on a non-contact play that resulted in an incompletion with 12:46 remaining.
He immediately grabbed his left knee, and the Patriots have ruled him out with a leg injury.
Jackson was emotional as he was loaded onto a cart, covering his eyes with his hands before teammate Deatrich Wise threw him a towel. Teammates had come off the sideline to wish Jackson well before he departed for the X-ray room.
The undrafted free agent didn’t have a catch Thursday night, but he made a 38-yard touchdown catch in the preseason opener.
The Eagles have ruled out receiver John Ross with a concussion.
