Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate, who was carted off the field during Sunday’s 20–18 loss to the Steelers, has a sprained neck after further evaluations, coach Todd Bowles told the media on Monday.
Tampa Bay fans can breathe a sigh of relief with Monday’s diagnosis since fans saw a scary scene on Sunday when Brate was carted off. The team feared he suffered neurological issues after the neck injury, but fortunately, Brate was cleared from having any loss of sensation or nerve damage.
The tight end was even able to travel back on the team’s plane to Tampa Bay on Sunday, per the Tampa Bay Times.
