Will Gholston suffered a neck injury that left him prone on the field in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Week Nine game at New Orleans, and there is no way to write that sentence without it sounding scary. Gholston was immobilized and transported to a nearby hospital in New Orleans for neurological tests.
Fortunately, those tests went well and Gholston was quickly back on his feet. In fact, the fifth-year defensive end was able to fly back to Tampa on the team plane that evening. However, he missed the next two weeks of practice and games against the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins.
