In the first game of the 2016 season, Ole Miss defensive back Ken Webster suffered a gruesome leg injury while going up for the ball against Florida State wide receiver Kermit Whitfield. After landing awkwardly on his left leg, Webster was in obvious pain as the trainers were by his side.

As he was getting carted off the field, Webster's emotions were written all over his face.

Unfortunate for him, especially after all of the work he put in in the offseason: https://t.co/ojTXII79bd https://t.co/fZkhBs7Edy

Back in November 2014, Webster's former Ole Miss teammate Laquon Treadwell suffered a gruesome leg injury, breaking his tibia and dislocating his ankle. 

At the time, Treadwell's injury looked incredibly bad, but he managed to not only get back on the field, he improved his numbers the following year. This summer, he was selected by the Minnesota Vikings with the 23rd overall pick. We hope that, like his former teammate, Webster can bounce back.
