Arkansas' Rawleigh Williams carted off field before spring game

Arkansas running back Rawleigh Williams was carted off the field and loaded into an ambulance after suffering a neck stinger minutes before Saturday's spring scrimmage.

The team announced afterward that Williams was transported to hospital as a precaution because of his injury history. He underwent neck surgery two years ago, and complications from the procedure caused other issues in his neck area.

Williams, who went to the ground after taking a hit during pregame warmup, was moving his extremities while being tended to by team trainers, according to Kyle Deckelbaum of KATV.

The 20-year-old posted 1,360 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground last year as a sophomore. If healthy, he's slated to enter the 2017 campaign atop the Razorbacks' depth chart.

Arkansas moved its spring game indoors due to a severe weather threat.
