Ambulance Requested For Bills RB Damien Harris, Gives Thumbs Up After Frightening Scene

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris went down with an apparent injury in the second quarter, requiring a spineboard stretcher and an ambulance to take him off the field at Highmark Stadium.

Harris provided an encouraging sign before departing the field, giving a thumbs up as players prayed and fans from both teams quietly waited for a response on the field.

Harris went down on a routine tackle from New York Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke. An in-game report from NBC said the Bills runner suffered a neck injury.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was emotional on the Bills sideline as Harris remained immobile on the field. The scene was reminiscent of Hamlin's on-field cardiac arrest on Jan. 2.

According to the NBC-SNF broadcast, Harris showed movement in his arms and legs after leaving the game and is being driven to a local hospital for further testing.
