Amani Oruwariye, a cornerback who is a member of the New York Giants’ practice squad, was reportedly carted off the practice field on a backboard Wednesday and taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
Reporters at the scene said that Oruwariye was moving his arms as he was taken away. The ambulance he was placed in left the facility with its lights flashing.
The Giants were apparently working on kickoff drills when Oruwariye was involved in a collision. He was down for several minutes before being taken off the field.
Here is the Giants’ statement on Oruwariye, who appears to be OK:
Amani Oruwariye, a defensive back on the practice squad, suffered a neck injury during practice today.
