Jets running back Braelon Allen was quickly ruled out of his team's contest against the Dolphins on Monday night after suffering what looked to be a significant knee injury.

After New York went down 10-0 to Miami with just over nine minutes left in the second quarter, the 21-year-old returned the ensuing kick to the New York 26-yard-line before being hit in the knee by Dolphins safety Ashtyn Davis. He was helped off the Hard Rock Stadium field and into the medical tent before ultimately being ruled out for the remainder of the game.

New York is down 10-3 to the Dolphins at halftime.
