Bills' Rapp leaves in ambulance after sustaining neck injury

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills safety Taylor Rapp was moving his hands as he was loaded onto an ambulance after sustaining what appeared to be a head injury late in the first half against the New York Jets on Sunday.

Rapp was hurt when he and teammate Taron Johnson both struck running back Breece Hall in the open field. Johnson went down immediately, while Rapp stumbled back about 10 yards before collapsing to his knees.

Rapp came in from Hall's right, and appeared to hit the running back with the side of his head and shoulder. Play was delayed for about 10 minutes while trainers attended to Rapp.

The Bills did not have an immediate update on the severity of Rapp's injury.

Johnson, meanwhile, was able to get up and jog to the locker room.

Rapp became the latest Bills player to be driven off the field by ambulance. Running back Damien Harris was driven away when he suffered a concussion against the New York Giants on Oct. 15 and hasn't played since.

Last season, safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated on the field at Cincinnati on Jan. 2. Hamlin has since recovered and resumed his career, although he hasn't played much this season.

Hamlin was not active and on the sideline on Sunday, and waved to Rapp as he was loaded into the ambulance.
