Who said he's done for the season?
Do we know if it was a break? It looked to me like it was that his cleat got stuck in the turf and his lower leg twisted which usually means knee. I'd be surprised if that shin on shin caused a break. Shin bones are weapons and unless its a lower shin to checked high shin type contact there shouldn't be a break.

Yeah I saw that part. Looked like a shin to shin contact with the Panthers guy. I saw a reply after the game in slow motion where Devlin went to spin and his cleat dug in while the rest of his body rotated. It looked really, really bad. When they brought up the shin collision on the broadcast it surprised me because normally that wouldn't have sufficient force behind it to cause a break.After his legs came free from the ground, he was spun in the air. A second Panthers player ran into the area, and Develin's leg hit him during his whiparound.
Cool, thanks. Dang that's freaky though.It was a broken bone
