Not much scares a team or their fans more than seeing one of their best players carried into the locker room on the back of a cart, strapped to a backboard after taking a severe blow to the head or back.

That’s exactly the scenario that played out in front of the Cowboys earlier this afternoon when defensive end DeMarcus Ware rushed Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers and crashed into the leg of San Diego offensive tackle Brandyn Dumbrowski helmet first. Ware retained full movement in all of his extremities while he was laying on the field, but team doctors chose to err on the side of caution and called for the medical cart to come out and take Ware into the locker room.

According to ESPN Dallas’ Calvin Watkins, the current outlook on Ware is good, and doctors believe he has a sprained neck.  Ware has not lost feeling or movement at any point since the injury and barring any complications, he should make a full recovery in the near future.
