An NFL official was unfortunately in the wrong place on the sideline during the game between the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions on Sunday as he suffered a gruesome leg injury that was shown on the broadcast. Saints running back Alvin Kamara took a speed option flip from Derek Carr on 3rd-and-3 and was bouncing down the left sideline when Lions linebacker Derrick Barnes used his shoulder to smack Kamara out of bounds. As cameras turned on Kamara, one could clearly see the sideline official’s leg turned to the side and that he was in a considerable amount of pain. There are many moments throughout an NFL season where officials, team personnel and others come in contact with players running out of bounds. However, Saints quarterback Derek Carr would suffer an injury that brought his backup, Jameis Winston, into the game.
