New York Jets offensive lineman Xavier Newman was carted off the field on a backboard after a collision against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Newman remained on the sideline for several minutes after the collision in the third quarter. Players from both teams surrounded Newman as play was stopped for several minutes. He was placed on a backboard by medical staff and carried off the field on a cart by paramedics.

NBC’s Melissa Stark reported that medical staff removed his face mask as they attended to him on the field and that he was conscious. Stark later reported that Newman had movement in his limbs and was transported to a local hospital in Pittsburgh. The Jets ruled him out of the game with a neck injury.

The injury occurred in the third quarter during an interception by Aaron Rodgers following a pass that was blocked by Garrett Wilson. Steelers cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. intercepted the ball and returned it 41 yards to the Jets’ 1-yard line.

Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen came into contact with Newman (#65, above) while blocking the return. Newman staggered to the sideline and lay there until he was carried off the field on a stretcher.

Play resumed after Newman was taken off the field, with the Steelers leading 16-15.
