Dustin Keller injury: Dolphins tight end out for the season with knee injury

The news confirms that Keller should be out for the season. Technically, he could return to the Dolphins after Week 8 if he is designated for return by the team, but the severity of the injury suggests that he is in for lengthy recovery process that could extend well into 2014.

“I was making a hit playing football,” Swearinger said. “In this league you’ve got to go low. If you go high you’re going to get a fine.”

It certainly looked bad. Obviously, Keller will not return to the game, though the severity of the injury is unknown. It looks about as bad as they get based on the way his knee bent the wrong way, but it’s all speculation until there’s official word from the team.
