Tyrod Taylor Carted Off with Knee Injury, Reportedly Avoided Major Injury

Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a knee injury and was carted off in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, but he is not believed to have suffered a major injury.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Taylor will undergo testing, but he reportedly has "told people close to him that he's going to be OK."

Despite his run-heavy style, Taylor has been able to stay relatively healthy since taking over the starting role in Buffalo. He started all but three games in his first two seasons with the team and hasn't missed a game yet this season.

His impact on the field has been huge as the Bills look for their first playoff berth since 1999.

The 28-year-old has filled up the stat sheet this year with 2,090 passing yards, 334 rushing yards and 15 total touchdowns in 2017. Even when his numbers aren't as impressive as others around the league, though, his playmaking ability makes the Bills offense a tough one to defend.

While Taylor remains one of the more divisive quarterbacks in the NFL, an extended absence could be devastating for Buffalo's season.

Rookie fifth-round pick Nathan Peterman will continue to fill in under center if Taylor cannot play next week, and LeSean McCoy should expect a heavy workload at running back.
