KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City linebacker Cameron Sheffield was injured while making a tackle Friday night against Philadelphia and carted off the field after being immobilized.
Trainers and coaches tended to the rookie linebacker for several minutes before securing his body and lifting it onto a cart. He was obviously conscious and medical personnel were talking to him.
Sheffield was drafted in the fifth round out of Troy and is competing for a job as a backup. He was hurt when his helmet made contact with Mike Bell’s helmet as he took down the Eagles running back near the Chiefs’ sideline.

FFB News: Players were huddled around Sheffield in prayer, so the injury appears to be significant. The Chiefs are calling it a neck injury. A fifth-round pick out of Troy, Sheffield was playing extensively in the game as a nickel rusher. He's fourth on the Chiefs' depth chart at outside linebacker. Aug. 27 - 10:31 pm et
