New York Giants wide receiver Calvin Austin III was carted off the field after appearing to suffer a serious right knee injury.

The wide receivers and defensive backs gathered in a circle for a prayer.
The entire team stopped what it was doing to wish the 27-year-old wide receiver well as he was carted off.
