There was a scary scene Sunday early in the Green Bay Packers game against the New York Jets when wide receiver Jayden Reed was carted off the field with an apparent neck injury.
Trainers and doctors brought out the cart and put a motionless Reed on a long spine board to protect the player from suffering further damage.
The entire Green Bay Packers team looked on as they watched from both the field and the sideline.
And let's cut to the post-game interviews because this is ultimately not a tragic story: Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters after the game that Reed has "movement in all his extremities."
So, he is not paralyzed.
No one could say that when Reed collapsed to the turf when he was hit by Jets' linebacker Demario Davis on the second play of the game.
It was a scary scene because no one at the time knew Reed's status as they watched him carted away.
The Packers have ruled Reed out for the remainder of the game with a neck injury. No further updates are currently available as there have been no ensuing press box announcements to the media.
Reed suffered the injury after taking a significant blow to the head on a swing pass from quarterback Jordan Love.

"He will be staying overnight," LaFleur said, meaning in the Metropolitan New York area. "Obviously that was a very scary deal anytime you see anybody down on the field and have to get carted off."
Reed has struggled with injuries before. He missed 10 games last season after breaking his collarbone and then also requiring foot surgery.
