Lions cornerback leaves Patriots game in ambulance with neck injury

Lions cornerback Saivion Smith left Sunday’s game against the Patriots in an ambulance after suffering a neck injury, per the team.

Smith went down in early in the first quarter after an odd collision with Patriots tight end Hunter Henry. Henry managed to swing his way past Smith, who appeared to hit his head on Henry’s side. Smith turned and appeared to try to pursue Henry, but he collapsed to the ground.

Here’s a replay of the moment, which shows how Smith went down.

Smith’s injury was the start of a scary moment on the field.
