Bowman was carted off the field during Sunday's game after suffering an apparent leg injury.

Analysis:

Bowman had been leading the team with 14 total tackles before exiting the game. He injured his knee while attempting to recover a fumble that he forced on Seattle's Jermaine Kearse. If the injury turns out to be as gruesome as it was live, the defensive player of the year candidate may be in trouble for the start of the 2014 season, but an MRI will be needed to confirm he severity.
