New York Jets offensive lineman Xavier Newman was taken to the hospital after suffering a neck injury during his team’s Sunday night contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Jets had a 2nd-and-10 play from their 23 down 16-15 to the Steelers in the third quarter. Aaron Rodgers threw a pass that Garrett Wilson bobbled, resulting in an interception by Beanie Bishop. As Bishop raced with the ball the other way, Steelers defensive players tried to block some Jets offensive players.
Pittsburgh linebacker Patrick Queen slammed into Newman with a big hit that sent the guard to the ground. Newman was down for several minutes after that block.
