X-rays negative on Ravens LT Gaither after he's injured in collision

Gaither was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital, where X-rays on his neck and shoulder came up negative, team sources told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. An MRI still needs to be done and will be taken at another location.

Good to hear, I hope he'll be Ok.

Thank god. It looked awful. Hope he's back playing soon.

Good to hear, don't want to see anyone hurt....

Thanks for the concern guys. Hopefully JG will be ok. I really hope its not a spinal cord concussion. We lost Landry last year with one.

GREAT news

They were checking to see if any vertebrae were fractured. Movement indicated no nerve damage but you can actually have a broken neck with it not YET severing spinal nerves. Thus the caution. Best wishes!

Good to hear.. Its always scary when you see a player's head bend back like that..

 

[Horace's Ivories]

thanks for the update - excellent news - it made me not care about the results of the game for a short while ..

Godspeed, hope he's ok

He's just 23 years old, third year in the NFL. He is HUGE, too. I hope he has a nice long career, with only a few notable exceptions.

Great news!

Situations like that are scary and it was not one of these plays where you see it all so clearly...I am glad so far that X-rays are negative. Don't know exactly what could be going on, but it's always good that a player has feeling in extremities as was said..Wish him a speedy and complete recovery.

Good to hear. I don't ever want to see anyone injured seriously in this game.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

that's great news, and unlike steeler fans we actually don't want our opponents getting hurt.

Very good to hear. He was down for so long that I was afraid it might be something really bad. Hopefully he comes through with no lasting effect.

 

[Fixit]

That is good news. Never want to see that.

 

[Garbanza]

Good news.

 

[Kontradiction]

Sounds like a possible stinger. Bad one by the looks of it. Glad to hear he's okay.
