Bills RB Damien Harris leaves field via ambulance with neck injury, transported to hospital for testing

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Bills running back Damien Harris was transported off of the field by ambulance with a neck injury after taking a hit during the first half of Buffalo’s Sunday night contest against the Giants.

Harris gave a thumbs-up as he was stretchered away late in the second quarter. The Bills reported the former Alabama star had movement in his arms and legs and was transported to a hospital for further testing. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Harris lay motionless on the turf for several minutes and a large swath of his Bills teammates surrounded him as trainers tended to him on the turf.

Harris went down after being tackled by linebacker Bobby Okereke on a 1-yard gain up the middle to convert a third-and-1 situation.

Harris’ helmet appeared to hit Okereke squarely in the left shoulder. The game was delayed for about five minutes while players from both teams gathered around him on the field.

The 26-year-old Harris is a fifth-year player who sent his first four seasons with New England before signing with the Bills in free agency this offseason.
