What Happened You Should Know – NBC New York

New York Jets offensive lineman Xavier Newman suffered a horrific injury during the Sunday Night Football game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh and had to be stretchered off the field.

Newman was injured while taking a block hit after the Steelers caught an interception in the third quarter of the game at Acrisure Stadium.

The NFL reports that Newman suffered a neck injury and had to be stabilized on a backboard and carried off the field on a cart. NBC Sports’ Melissa Stark reported that Newman had movement in his limbs.

According to Mike Tirico during the NBC broadcast, Newman was taken by paramedics to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, a Level 1 trauma center four miles from the stadium, for evaluation.

He is in his second season with the Jets.
