Jets running back Leon Washington is helped off the field after suffering a broken leg. Said one player, "I could see blood spurting out. I've never seen anything like that before."
How will losing Leon Washington for the season affect the Jets?

OAKLAND - The Jets' season was rocked with another bad injury Sunday at the Oakland Coliseum.

Jets RB Leon Washington is out for the season after breaking his right leg today against the Raiders. Washington suffered a fractured fibula that required emergency surgery. According to players, the bone broke through the skin. One player said, "I could see blood spurting out. I've never seen anything like that before." It could be a career-threatening injury.

An unidentified player landed on Washington's leg as he went down awkwardly, one of those cover-your-eyes plays. Teammates immediately motioned to the sideline for medical help.

Washington was carted off the field.

If he's sideline for a lengthy period, Washington will be second-guessed for not accepting the Jets' proposed contract extension. The deal that was on the table at the end of the preseason included $5 million in guarantees, plus another $5 million guaranteed for injury protection.

Washington rolled the dice, deciding to play out the final year of his current deal ($535,000). Under the current CBA, he will be a restricted free agent.

Compound Fractures are no joke. Especially when they break skin. Hope he will be able to come back.
