Jacksonville WR Lee suffers knee injury

The Jacksonville Jaguars' leading receiver a season ago, wide receiver Marqise Lee, suffered a knee injury and was carted off the field during the first quarter against visiting Atlanta on Saturday night in an NFL preseason game.

Lee was injured after getting hit low by Falcons safety Damontae Kazee, who was penalized for lowering his helmet to initiate contact. He hit Lee's left knee and caused it to bend awkwardly.

Lee caught 56 passes for 702 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games in 2017. In his first four seasons, he has 171 receptions for 2,166 yards and eight touchdowns.

Lee, a second-round draft choice from the University of Southern California in 2014, signed a four-year, $34 million contract in March.
