East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - New York Giants tight end Jake Ballard
suffered a torn knee ligament in the Super Bowl, the team said Tuesday.
Ballard tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the fourth
quarter of Sunday's win over the Patriots.
Fellow tight end Travis Beckum went down with a torn ACL in his right knee in
the second quarter.
Replays on TV showed Ballard trying to run and cut on the sideline, perhaps
hoping to get back in the game, then collapsing and grabbing his knee. He had
38 catches for 604 yards and four touchdowns this past season.
