The aftermath was even scarier. Burks had to be immobilized, and they carted him off the field.
Now, he’s on his way to the hospital in an ambulance, accompanied by a neurosurgeon. Fortunately, word from the broadcast booth is that he still has full movement in all his limbs.

Before his unfortunate injury, Burks managed to reel in two of the three passes thrown his way for a total of 23 yards.
Here’s hoping he’s alright.
