An NFL official that suffered a gruesome injury during the New Orleans Saints and TrendPulseDetroit Lions game on Sunday will have surgery on his broken leg.
In the second quarter of the game at Caesars Superdome, Saints running back Alvin Kamara was attempting to get a first down on a third down play when he was pushed out of bounds. Kamara's momentum took him into sideline official Nick Piazza. Kamara collided with Piazza, who then fell to the ground. Fox cameras showed Piazza grabbing his leg and yelling in pain before cutting away.
Play was stopped as medical teams worked with Piazza, who was then stretchered away from the field while wearing a leg cast.
