Bucs backup quarterback John Wolford sustained a neck injury late in the third quarter of the team’s second preseason game against the New York Jets. Wolford, who was the second quarterback in the game, relieving Kyle Trask, was brought down hard by Jets defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes as he tried to navigate a crumbling pocket. As Holmes fell on Wolford, his head appeared to whip onto the ground hard.

Wolford remained on the ground without movement following the end of the play. Trainers came out and assisted Wolford off the field on a stretcher while keeping his head from moving.

Wolford was seen moving his extremities and gave the crowd a thumbs up as he was carted off the field.

With Wolford having to leave the game the Bucs had Trask, who started the game, re-enter. Baker Mayfield was held out of the game entirely after head coach Todd Bowles announced prior to the first pre-season game that he would come in after Trask in game two against the Jets.
