Travis Lulay placed his crutches by his locker and turned to face the media.
Although the diagnosis on his right knee was still yet to be determined, the dejected look on his face and the tears starting to glisten at the corners of his eyes spoke volumes.
The veteran quarterback for the B.C. Lions suffered a suspected tear to his anterior cruciate ligament on the second play from scrimmage in Friday91裸聊视频檚 41-18 victory over the Montreal Alouettes.
91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 significant damage,91裸聊视频� said Lulay. 91裸聊视频漌e91裸聊视频檒l have to do an MRI to confirm what happened exactly.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 shocked more than anything. Things happen. I91裸聊视频檝e obviously dealt with stuff like this before, but it91裸聊视频檚 personally disappointing.91裸聊视频�
Thanks!

Lulay was tackled on a six-yard run by Montreal91裸聊视频檚 Branden Dozier and stayed down before being helped to the sidelines.
91裸聊视频淚 went to cut inside and when my foot planted in the ground I felt my knee shift,91裸聊视频� Lulay said in describing the play. 91裸聊视频滻t really happened before the contact. I got up and it hurt.91裸聊视频�
Lulay was seen wiping tears from his eyes on the bench as trainers examined his knee before placing his leg into an air cast.
If it91裸聊视频檚 confirmed Lulay indeed suffered a tear to his ACL, he will be done for the year and faces a long rehab after surgery.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 devastating for us, for him, for our fans,91裸聊视频� said Lions head coach and general manager Wally Buono. 91裸聊视频淚t is a very serious injury.91裸聊视频�
Lulay, who turns 34 later this month and has dealt with a number of injuries in his career, started in place of Jonathon Jennings after the third-year QB struggled in three straight losses since returning from a shoulder ailment last month.
Jennings replaced Lulay against the Alouettes and capped B.C.91裸聊视频檚 first drive with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Arceneaux and two-point conversion to Bryan Burnham.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 really tough, but we91裸聊视频檙e all here to do a job,91裸聊视频� said Jennings, who finished with 295 yards and two touchdowns. 91裸聊视频滱s the second-string quarterback, you know you91裸聊视频檙e the next play away. I worked all week to prepare myself for the opportunity if it came.91裸聊视频�
Lulay, who wouldn91裸聊视频檛 discuss his immediate future until he knows the extent of the damage, was 3-1 in Jennings91裸聊视频� absence earlier this season and entered Friday as the CFL91裸聊视频檚 highest rated passer.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 hard to understand 91裸聊视频� it91裸聊视频檚 not for me to understand,91裸聊视频� said Lulay. 91裸聊视频滻 trust there91裸聊视频檚 a plan. It91裸聊视频檒l make more sense to me someday down the road.91裸聊视频�
