Jahvid Best sustained what appeared to be an extremely serious back/neck injury while scoring the Bears’ first touchdown. After approximately ten minutes of medical attention, he was taken from the field while being provided oxygen. He did not raise his hand or acknowledge the crowd.
This really scary. For those who did not see it - he jumped into the air to get over a defender as he scored a touchdown and twisted to land squarely on his upper back/lower neck area. His helmet flew off and he looked instantly unconscious the moment he landed after the TD. His arms were stiffened and his eyes were closed. My prayers are with you, Jahvid

ReplyDeleteJahvid and his team mates are in my prayers. I am so hopeful that this 6:29pm ESPN update is true: Cal spokesman Herb Benenson said that a preliminary evaluation showed Best sustained a concussion, but more tests were being done before a final diagnosis would be announced by the school. Best had movement in all of his extremities, Benenson said.
