Atlanta Falcons rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels is carted off on a stretcher after sustaining an injury during a tackle against the Chicago Bears in Week 6. Multiple outlets report that the injury involves his neck, following contact that leaves him down on the field.
Eyewitness-style reporting notes a helmet-to-knee collision with Bears tight end Colston Loveland during the play, creating the immediate “scary scene” that surrounded Daniels’ departure. The Falcons say Daniels is alert and has movement in all his extremities after the injury.
As he is helped off the field, at least one report says Daniels makes a fist with his left hand. CBS and Yahoo also note he is ruled out, while ESPN and Yahoo provide similar injury-status updates. Across outlets, the main points focus on the incident details, his initial responsiveness and limb movement, and his removal from the game for evaluation.
