Carlton star Chris Judd has suffered a possible career ending knee injury against Adelaide at the MCG this afternoon.

Judd landed awkwardly in a marking contest in the first quarter and immediately reached for his knee and appeared to be in severe pain.

The Carlton veteran tried to limp off the ground, but was eventually taken off on a stretcher, before being taken to hospital mid way through the second term.

Carlton confirmed on twitter after the game that scans revealed that Judd had indeed ruptured the ACL in his left knee.
