SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Branden Jackson was “knocked out” and taken off the field on a backboard as a precaution after being injured during the team’s scrimmage on Saturday.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Jackson had movement in all his extremities. The injury happened just before halftime of the scrimmage at CenturyLink Field. Carroll ended the scrimmage after a lengthy break while Jackson was being treated.
Jackson was eventually loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital as a precaution.
“It was at a time just before halftime, so we called off the rest of the day just to honor our love for him,” Carroll said.
