WR Lee suffers knee injury

-

Jaguars receiver Marqise Lee, who led the team in receptions in 2017, injured his left knee in a 17-6 victory against the visiting Falcons on Saturday, and could be out for the year.

Lee was carted off the field in the first quarter after being hit directly on the knee by Falcons cornerback Damontae Kazee, who was flagged for tackling with his helmet.

Lee had 56 catches for 702 yards and three touchdowns last season. He signed a four-year, $34 million contract in March that included $16.5 million guaranteed.
