Bills RB Harris taken to hospital with neck injury
Written by I Dig SportsORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris was taken off the field in an ambulance and transported to a local hospital after suffering a neck injury Sunday night against the New York Giants.
Harris has movement in his arms and legs, according to the Bills, and will undergo further testing at the hospital.
Harris gave a thumbs-up sign with his left hand as he was loaded into the ambulance.
Harris was rushing the football on third-and-1 from the Bills' 34-yard-line in the second quarter when he took a hit to the neck area into the back of Bills right guard O'Cyrus Torrence and Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke.
He lay on the ground for several minutes as medical personnel and Bills athletic trainers tended to him. The entire Bills sideline came out to surround him.
Harris, 26, is in his first season as a Bill after signing with the team in free agency. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the New England Patriots.
