Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cade Johnson is in stable condition at a local hospital after he apparently sustained head and neck injuries during their preseason opener on Thursday night.

Johnson, late in the first half of the Seahawks’ game against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night, was seen walking to the medical tent behind their bench at Lumen Field. Nothing outstanding happened on the field, and he didn’t need help getting up or walking off.

A short time later, though, Johnson was stretchered off the field with his head and neck immobilized.
