Tom Brady’s Buccaneers Provide Major Update on Russell Gage After Being Hospitalized For Neck Injury

When they were severely trounced by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday in the last game of Super Wild Card Weekend by a score of 31-14, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were eliminated from contention. The health of wide receiver Russell Gage is more of an immediate concern than quarterback Tom Brady, who most people are concentrating on right now. Another NFL player has been sent to the hospital with a terrifying injury, only two weeks after Damar Hamlin, a standout for the Bills fell on the field after going into cardiac arrest.

With just two minutes and 55 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter on Monday, January 16, 2023, what occurred to Russell Gage would put an end to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys game.

Russell Gage injury update

The 26-year-old Buccaneers wide receiver was taken off the field while wearing a neck brace at a time when player safety in the NFL is at an all-time low. The Bucs confirmed Tuesday morning that Russell Gage had a sensation in his limbs after being taken to a nearby hospital.

“After suffering a neck injury and concussion during the fourth quarter of last night’s game, Russell (Gage) was taken to a local hospital where he remained overnight for additional testing and observation,” the Buccaneers said in a statement.

High-profile injuries have afflicted the 2022–23 season, including that of Nick Foles, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback, who departed a game after being sacked by a Giants defender and seemed to convulse with a rib injury. The NFL has placed a huge emphasis on player safety and injuries ever after Damar Hamlin suffered an injury against the Bengals.

It became evident right away that the situation was extremely severe and terrifying as soon as Russell Gage fell down. That became further clearer when he needed to be carried away. The Buccaneers, who selected their player in the sixth round (#194 overall) in the 2018 Draft out of LSU, provided an update on the player’s health on Tuesday.
