Ramsey blames new helmet rule for injury to Lee

Outspoken Jacksonville Jaguars corner Jalen Ramsey blames his teammate Marqise Lee's leg injury squarely on the NFL and its new helmet rule.

Lee took a shot to the knee by Atlanta Falcons corner Damontae Kazee in Saturday's preseason game. Lee required the assistance of a cart to be taken off the field.

Ramsey argues that the new helmet rule, that penalizes players for leading with the crown of their helmets when making a tackle, led to the gruesome injury.

"You can't be mad at (Kazee). You have to be mad at the NFL; not mad at them, but that is how the rule is," Ramsey said, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco.

"People are scared to tackle normal because I guess they don't want to do helmet-to-helmet and get flagged. ... Game-changing stuff could happen. You don't really want to blame anyone, but you feel bad for him."

An update on Lee's status was not available after the game.
