Cardinals Tight End Travis Vokolek Stretchered Off With Neck Injury vs. Colts

On-field cervical immobilization preceded his transport to a local hospital.

Overview

  • Vokolek was injured on a first-quarter kickoff return after contact with Colts linebacker Segun Olubi.
  • Medical staff removed his facemask, secured him to a backboard, strapped his arms, and monitored him with a pulse oximeter before carting him off.
  • He gave a thumbs-up as he left the field, and the FOX broadcast later reported he was alert with movement in all extremities.
  • The Cardinals ruled him out for the rest of the game with a neck injury and later sent him for further evaluation at a local hospital.
  • Vokolek, 27, has played primarily on special teams with no receptions this season; Arizona also played without quarterback Kyler Murray as the Colts dealt with injuries from warmups.
