In a scary moment during the Bucs’ 31-14 loss to the Cowboys, wide receiver Russell Gage was injured with just under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay was driving towards the end zone when Gage was hit high and awkwardly as he fell by Dallas safety Donovan Wilson.

Gage remained down on the field for several minutes before a cart came out on the field. The Bucs training staff needed to line up a back board and immobilize the veteran wide receiver who was then transported to a near by hospital.
