Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris was taken off the field in an ambulance after suffering a neck injury late in the second quarter of Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants in Orchard Park, N.Y.
Harris took a carry on third-and-1 and gained 1 yard before New York’s Bobby Okereke initiated shoulder-to-shoulder contact in tackling him. Harris’ head also appeared to hit the offensive lineman in front of him.
Harris remained on the ground and was immediately tended to by trainers. He was secured to a backboard. According to the NBC broadcast, Harris gave a thumbs-up gesture before being loaded onto the ambulance.
The Bills later reported that Harris had movement in his arms and legs and was being taken to the hospital for further testing.
Harris is in his first season with Buffalo after four with the New England Patriots. He was hurt on his first carry of the game.
