New York Jets tight end Dustin Keller may have suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of a preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday night.

Mark Sanchez connected with Keller on the right side for a 24-yard reception. Afterwards, Keller appeared to be grabbing his hamstring and is now getting looked at by Jets trainers and doctors on the sidelines.

Dustin Keller has been a bastion of health in his four-year career for the New York Jets. He is coming off of a career year in 2011 where he hauled down 65 receptions for 815 yards and five touchdowns - all career highs.

Here is the play where Keller went down.

Dustin Keller is out with a hamstring. Not good news for Mark Sanchez. A favorite receiving target.
