James White leaves game with serious hip injury, according to experts

FOXBOROUGH -- The Patriots may be without one of their offensive captains for quite awhile.

After a first down run in the second quarter against the Saints Sunday afternoon, James White needed to be carted off the field with what the team called a hip injury.

White was ruled out right away by the Patriots.

The cart was almost immediately called for the running back and then virtually the entire team and coaching staff walked across the field to show their support for the captain.

Online injury experts chimed in and believe it's a serious hip injury with many saying it's a possible subluxation.

By video a Tua and FitzMagic type right hip injury. Expect more like Fitz with subluxation than Tua with dislocation. In any case, expect IR coming. pic.twitter.com/F7n33r0IWP
