Chicago Bears rookie linebacker Leonard Floyd was taken off the field on a backboard and a cart after a frightening neck injury Sunday in his teams 22-16 loss to the New York Giants.Floyd was taken to a hospital for medical observation, as is standard NFL protocol, and released.

The injury happened with 5 minutes, 53 seconds remaining in Sundays game.The entire Bears team and several Giants players gathered around in a show of support. Floyd pumped his fist and showed some movement while being carted off.It hurt us mentally and physically to see Leonard go down like that, Bears linebacker Pernell McPhee said. Thats one of our young bucks. Thats one of our playmakers. Thats one of the guys we depend on. Hes a great guy. Hopefully its nothing serious, and our prayers go out to him. Hopefully hes back soon.Bears coach John Fox said following the game that Floyds movement looked good and was encouraging.Its difficult to see a young guy like that [who has] made the strides that hes made get hurt, Bears linebacker Willie Young said. Its definitely tough. But Ive been around long enough to know thats just the game that we play.The first-round pick joined tight end Zach Miller, left guard Josh Sitton and cornerback CreVon LeBlanc as Bears knocked out of Sundays game.Floyd was taken with the No. 9 pick of the 2016 NFL draft.
