REVEALED: NFL sideline worker Nick Piazza dislocated his knee AND fractured his leg in Saints game when Alvin Kamara crashed into him… before cameras accidentally showed his leg bending unnaturally live on air
Nick Piazza, the NFL sideline worker who broke his leg on live TV in the New Orleans Saints game on Sunday, needs surgery on a dislocated knee and fracture fibula.
The update on his condition came from Ross Jackson, the host of the ‘Locked on Saints’ who said that Piazza’s blood vessels remain intact and that he will likely be operated on next week.
The sickening incident happened in the second quarter of Saints vs. Detroit Lions on Sunday, with live television cameras inadvertently filming the ugly scene as it happened.
Alvin Kamara of the Saints took a catch from quarterback Derek Carr and raced toward the first down marker – only to be shoved out of bounds.
But Kamar’s momentum saw him collide into Piazza who immediately crumpled in pain upon the impact.

A camera was naturally following the play unfolding and as it panned onto the incident, it showed Piazza’s leg bending unnaturally while he screamed in pain on the ground.
Trainers raced over to attend to him and Piazza was soon loaded onto a stretcher and taken away for medical treatment.
Viewers were left horrified by what they had seen and quickly took to social media to discuss the incident.
One posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘Jesus, did the camera guy in the saints lions game just break his leg?’
Another wrote: ‘Yooo that sideline official in the Lions-Saints game had his leg bending the wrong way’.
The worst injury of the day was to a chain crew member in the Saints-Lions game. Legs aren’t supposed to bend like that,’ commented another.
