Man, this is rough … I totally feel for this kid.

Ravens rookie running back Keaton Mitchell was an outright rising star during his brilliant showing against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but his pretty stat line got thrown out the window after he suffered a wicked knee injury at the beginning of the fourth quarter — he finished with 91 rushing yards off 13 carries.

While on a long run and trying to avoid a tackle, Mitchell’s left knee ended up buckling and seemingly caved in a stomach-turning scene. From there, he was down and out, having to be carted off the field.

Vicious … here’s a closer look:

After the game, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that Mitchell’s injury has been classified as “serious” and that he will be out for the remainder of the season.

Just some rough luck for this kid, and for it to happen during a breakout game?

Man … I feel for you, Keaton. Keep your head up, king.
