KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City linebacker Cameron Sheffield was injured while making a tackle Friday night against Philadelphia and carted off the field after being immobilized.
Trainers and coaches tended to the rookie linebacker for several minutes before securing his body and lifting it onto a cart. He was obviously conscious and medical personnel were talking to him.
Sheffield was drafted in the fifth round out of Troy and is competing for a job as a backup. He was hurt when his helmet made contact with Mike Bell’s helmet as he took down the Eagles running back near the Chiefs’ sideline.
