NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Saints running back Deuce McAllister will miss the rest of the NFL season after tearing a knee ligament.
McAllister said an MRI exam Tuesday confirmed his worst fears: He tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in Monday night’s 31-14 loss to Tennessee.
“I didn’t want to believe, but just taking that walk to the locker room you could feel it just kind of giving way a little bit,” he said.
`And that was just kind of reminiscent of how the other one felt,” he added, referring to a 2005 injury.
The latest injury occurred when McAllister landed awkwardly after catching a short pass from Drew Brees in the second quarter Monday night.
