Jeff Demps injured in fourth quarter (Updated)

While returning a Giants kick very late in the fourth quarter, Patriots running back and recent Olympian Jeff Demps appeared to hurt himself. He did not get up right away, held his leg, and then limped to the sideline.

He was spotted by reporters standing next to the medical staff getting checked out. No word yet on what the seriousness or location of the injury but judging from reports that he was seen taking a knee on the sideline, it's probably an ankle.

It does not seem too serious at this point, but stay tuned with us for updates as they come through.

UPDATE:

Rookie RB Jeff Demps, who didn't finish the game (medical staff checking leg area), says he is OK in post-game locker room.
