Former Patriots and current Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris suffered a scary injury during the Sunday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants.
Harris was placed on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance to be taken off the field.
However, he did give a thumbs up before getting into the ambulance, letting his teammate and the fans know that he is okay.
On the broadcast they reported that Harris suffered a neck injury, but has movement in arms and legs. He is being taken to the hospital for further testing.
Late in the second quarter, Harris ran for what appeared to be a first down. After the play, he immediately stayed down on the field and was struggling with labored breaths.
Players knelt, praying for Harris as the training staff attended to the injured running back.
This brought back memories of Damar Hamlin's terrifying incident last season, after the Bills safety nearly died on the football field. However, Harris' signal to the team provided some comfort as he was taken away.
Harris began his career with the Patriots, being drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He shined while in New England, but left to join the Bills on a one-year deal following the 2022 season. This season, Harris has 22 carries for 93 yards and one touchdown.
Throughout his five years in the league, he has a total of 471 carries for 2,187 rushing yards and 21 rushing touchdowns, along with 42 receptions for 297 receiving yards.
