ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- New Orleans Saints special teamer Daniel Lasco was driven off the field in an ambulance Sunday after he was injured making a headfirst tackle on a kickoff return.
Lasco, whose head and body were strapped down to a board to restrict movement, raised his hand for a slight wave as he was being lifted onto the ambulance.
Lasco was transported to the hospital with a spine injury, according to WWL Radio in New Orleans, which also reported that he has feeling in his extremities.
The ambulance and stretcher were brought onto the field almost immediately after trainers and doctors began tending to Lasco, who was laying still on the ground after making the tackle.
