Anquan Boldin, Arizona’s Pro Bowl WR, was taken off the field on a stretcher after a scary collision.
Boldin was moving all his extremities on the field and was talking to his teammates coming off the field and going into the locker room. He was being taken to a hospital for precautionary reasons.
“He’s alert,” Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “He’s talking and moving all his extremities. He asked to get up and the doctors won’t let him.”
Late in the fourth quarter, Boldin went airborne attempting to catch a touchdown pass, but was hit from behind from Jets FS Kerry Rhodes, causing his head to snap forward, and then — almost simultaneously — was hit in the front by SS Eric Smith and Boldin’s head snapped backwards.
Both Boldin and Smith were on the ground for a while. Smith eventually got up, but Boldin stayed down not moving, as both teams gathered in a circle close by. Boldin eventually had his head immobilized, was put on a stretcher and taken off the field.

Q has full movement of his extremities and the preliminary Xrays revealed no breaks. He was taken across the river into Manahattan (Mt. Sinai Hospital) for a brain scan and will likely be kept there tonight for observation. If he's OK he will fly back to AZ tomorrow.

But, it wasn't a missed call. It was a ggood football play. The problem was that he was in there at all. After the last turnover I told my brother every starter they can spare should be out because someone's going to get hurt. Supid that they were in there, and they should have leaned their lesson and taken a knee after Boldin's scary injury.

You're wrong. Helmet-to-helmet is a personal foul and was a disgusting play.

Pariah, it was a missed call. Leading with the head and helmet to helmet contact is a VERY big penalty. They didn't call it. But they will see fines because of it.
BOTH players made helmet to helmet contact, the second guy lead with his head from the start.
AW got called for FAR less of a play in Baltimore last year.

Reason: changed suspension to fines, I didn't mean to say that

He lead with the crown of his helmet, that was a penalty and will result in what should be a huge fine.
yeah man i've been thinking about it constently since it happened. for his health, and the loss it would be for our team
Same here.
Very happy to hear he is OK.
