Miami Dolphins’ most promising young player carted off the field late in Jets game

The Dolphins’ most promising young player was unable to finish their best game of the season.

Preston Williams left the playing field on a medical cart Sunday, the result of sprained knee he suffered midway through the fourth quarter of Miami’s game against the Jets.

The team formally listed Williams as questionable to return, but he never did. He will undergo an MRI Monday. However, he was feeling better after the game, and Williams is hopeful it’s not more serious than a sprain.

That was the second time Sunday he had to go into the locker room for evaluation. He hurt his right wrist earlier in the game, but was cleared to return.

Williams appeared to hurt his knee while being tackled on a punt return.

The injury came late in Williams’ most productive game of his young career. Two of his five receptions went for touchdowns. The dynamic rookie receiver finished the game with 72 yards.
