Safety of Buffalo Bills Following what appeared to be a neck injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, Taylor Rapp had a terrifying experience on the field and had to be taken off by ambulance.
However, fears of a serious injury for Rapp have been allayed after it was revealed by Bills head coach Sean McDermott that the defensive back did not have to be taken to the hospital (h/t Chris Brown of One Bills Live).
McDermott: Taylor Rapp who was taken away from tonight’s game by ambulance is now resting at home.”
Rapp is playing in his first season with the Bills after a tenure with the Los Angeles Rams. He was taken by the Rams in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft (61st overall) and signed a one-year deal worth $1.77 million with the Bills last March.
Hopefully for Rapp and the Bills, his injury is not serious enough to keep him sidelined for a significant amount of time. Given that he is already resting at home after being taken off the field by an ambulance, it appears that he will not need an injured reserve designation, though, no official word pertaining to that has been announced as of this writing.
Regarding the game, the Bills effectively exacted revenge on the Jets for their Week 1 setback, stopping a three-game losing streak in the process.
But in Week 12, the Bills will face a more difficult opponent when they host the Philadelphia Eagles.
