mbossman2 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 neck injury....taken to local hospital according to the game announcers
apuszczalowski Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 neck injury....taken to local hospital according to the game announcers Man, Bills player makes a tackle and doesn't even look like he hit the ground akward or badly and he is taken away in an ambulance with a serious injury. That Ambulance could have sped away doing 50, hitting and running over a Pats WR on its way and they would have just bounced back up fine for another play
Dorkington Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Best wishes for a speedy recovery. As much as he let us down today, we need him. And more importantly, football is just a game, so hopefully whatever it is, he can continue to lead a good life.
Buffalos#1Fan Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I hope he's well. I love the fire in his game. That being said, it seemed he was moving which is a good sign. It looked like a broken clavicle to me. I guess we'll see.
stevewin Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Don't think they'd put him on a board and immobilize him and put him in an ambulance unless it was a concern for spinal injury. Looked like his chin hit and snapped his neck back
DC Tom Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Don't think they'd put him on a board and immobilize him and put him in an ambulance unless it was a concern for spinal injury. Looked like his chin hit and snapped his neck back Yes, but keep in mind that they're going to act with an abundance of caution. Given that he was moving before he was taken off the field, "snapped his neck" is likely an exaggeration. However badly he was hurt, it wasn't Kevin Everett bad, at least.
JimBob2232 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Yes, but keep in mind that they're going to act with an abundance of caution. Given that he was moving before he was taken off the field, "snapped his neck" is likely an exaggeration. However badly he was hurt, it wasn't Kevin Everett bad, at least. Hopefully not. when it comes to spinal cord injuries, the worse they "look" doesnt equate to how bad they actually are.
FireChan Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Dr. Mark Adickes @jocktodoc According to his father Aaron Williams has full movement in all extremities following his neck injury. Await CT scan and MRI results.

John in Jax Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Don't think they'd put him on a board and immobilize him and put him in an ambulance unless it was a concern for spinal injury. Looked like his chin hit and snapped his neck back OK, just went back and looked at it again. His head/chin never hit the ground, but his head does hit the back of Edelman as he goes flying at Edelman to try and tackle him in mid-air....I didn't see this earlier when I looked at it. But now that I took a 2nd look, his head does snap back a bit as it (his head) hits Edelman in the back butt area...hits right at the waistline.
Cugalabanza Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Good signs. Thanks for the update. Dr. Mark Adickes @jocktodoc According to his father Aaron Williams has full movement in all extremities following his neck injury. Await CT scan and MRI results.

I said snapped his head back, not snapped his neck. And I do think it was prob more precaution than anything. It was more in response to people guessing collarbone etc. even Gannon was saying something stupid like it might be his arm after the ambulance already was out there. You don't strap someone to a board and bring an ambulance for a hurt arm

You don't strap someone to a board and bring an ambulance for a hurt arm Well, looking at it though, it did look like he came down awkwardly on his right arm, but you are correct about being strapped to a board.
YoloinOhio Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 @TyDunne: Rambo on AW: "He's going to fight. Whatever it is, he's going to fight through that because he's a strong guy. He fights. He's a warrior." AW dad @AWilliamsFBUTX: Thanks for the prayers and concern for our son @ajwilliams23 . He has full movement in all extremities. Keep the prayers coming. #Godisgood
jimmy10 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Full movement doesn't necessarily rule out broken vertebrae. All the more reason to take the backboard/immobilization precautions.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Extremity movement is a good sign. All the best to AW23.
Dragonborn10 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 He was moving his feet on the sideline. My guess is a neck stinger and nothing more than being cautious. Unless he has a congenital defect andnarrowing of the spinal column he should be fine.
