Washington Commanders player Deatrich Wise looked inconsolable as he lay on the turf after suffering a nasty quad injury against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.
Wise went down during the second quarter as he tried to block an extra point attempt by Packers kicker Brandon McManus.
Replays showed a Packers player land on Wise's leg from behind while being tackled by a Commanders star, which forced it to bend awkwardly.
As medics rushed over to give him treatment on the field, it was clear that Wise was distraught.
His Commanders teammates stood nearby to offer support during the devastating scenes before Wise was carted off the field.
He was officially ruled out for the rest of the game during the third quarter.

Washington tight end John Bates was also ruled out of the game with a groin injury.
Wise, a former Patriots captain, joined the Commanders this March, signing with the team on a one-year, $3.25million deal.
The 31-year-old defensive lineman had spent his entire career before that in New England after they selected him in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
He's notched at least five sacks in three different seasons during his career - including last season - and was brought to Washington to be a veteran presence on the defensive line.
Wise impressed in Washington's Week 1 win over the Giants as he racked up two solo tackles, one tackle for loss and a quarterback hit.
The Commanders will hope his injury isn't too serious as they prepare for a stretch against the Raiders, Falcons and Chargers after Thursday's trip to Green Bay.
