From AP:

Linebacker David Pollack was placed on the injured reserve list Monday with a neck injury, but the Cincinnati Bengals expect him to be fully recovered for next season.

Pollack was taken off the field on a neck board after making a tackle in the first quarter of a 34-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. He was later transferred to a local hospital, where he was put in a protective halo brace.

Coach Marvin Lewis said Pollack's spinal cord wasn't damaged. He has full sensation in his arms and legs, and doctors are hopeful that the halo brace - which immobilizes the neck - will allow the injury to heal without surgery.

"It's not career-threatening," Lewis said.

Breaking one's neck can not be fun.

did anyone see the replay? I am wondering why he decided to tackle like that. I hate that it happened, but Dear God, what was he thinking?
