After a great 2009 season, more good things were expected in 2010 out of veteran fullback Leonard Weaver of the Philadelphia Eagles. It could be some time, however, before he sees the field again.
Weaver suffered an awful-looking leg injury while carrying the ball in the second quarter of the Eagles’ opener Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
On a short run, Weaver was stood up by Packers Nick Barnett and B.J. Raji. As Raji — the bigger man of the two — hit Weaver high, his leg buckled underneath him.
When the play was shown on the stadium scoreboard, the sellout crowd at Lincoln Financial Field groaned loudly at the gruesome sight.
Weaver was helped off the field with what the Eagles initially said was a left knee sprain. He was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Weaver ran for 323 yards, caught 15 passes, and was credited with four total touchdowns — two rushing and two receiving — in 2009.
(UPDATE: ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that Weaver is believed to have a torn ACL that will end his 2010 season.)
