Padres OF Jurickson Profar collapses, carted off after awful collision

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar left Thursday's game after a hard collision against the San Francisco Giants, and the situation only got more scary in the minutes immediately after the incident.

The injury occurred on a fly ball to left field from Giants designated hitter Tommy La Stella. Profar and Padres shortstop C.J. Abrams both ran for the ball, resulting in Abrams running down a diving Profar at full speed while making the catch. Replay showed Abrams' knee making hard contact with Profar's jaw.

Both players immediately collapsed after the collision. Abrams got up after a few seconds, but Profar remained down and was in clear pain.
