Prince Amukamara Injury: Giants CB Carted off Field with Reported Sprained Ankle

Prince Amukamara was carted off the field with a sprained ankle in the New York Giants' third preseason game against the Chicago Bears after tackling Brandon Marshall. 

His right leg hit the ground hard, and after he missed nine games in his rookie season with a broken left foot, Giants fans surely feared the worst. 

Thankfully, there is good news to report, though it's not all sunshine and roses, according to NFL: Around the League:

"

Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger confirmed this report, adding:

"

Uh oh, HIGH ankle sprain for Prince Amukamara. That's much different than the low variety. #nyg

The Giants can ill-afford to lose members of their secondary. Amukamara was slated to be the team's starter opposite Corey Webster, and losing him for any amount of time is going to be a big blow to the team.
