DeMarcus Ware carted off field in Dallas

Posted by Michael David Smith on December 13, 2009 6:38 PM ET
Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware was taken off the field on a stretcher after suffering what appeared to be a head or neck injury in the fourth quarter of today's game against the Chargers.

Ware was conscious, talking to teammates and giving a thumbs up sign as he was carted off the field.

The injury took place while Ware was rushing Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. As he charged into the San Diego backfield, Ware had a head-on collision with Chargers offensive tackle Brandyn Dombrowski.

Players on both teams were visibly shaken at seeing Ware down for several minutes. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was shown in his box covering his face with his hands.

UPDATE: Nancy Gay of FanHouse reports that Ware's initial diagnosis is a sprained neck, that he has feeling and full strength in his extremities and that he is alert. Ware is headed to an area hospital for tests.

Good news.

Great news don't rush back Ware, this team plays with no guts.

 

[Cover 2]

Thank God. I was very worried. Even if he doesn't come back this season, I just hope he's okay.

 

[TheCount]

Just let him rest for next year, he's got plenty of injuries at this point and the season is over.

I agree...

 

[FLCowboyFan]

Thank goodness he is our future on D

yup. yup

 

[davidb257]

Ware is done for the year, it would be absolute stupidity to bring him back this year.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

We need him for New Orleans, this season is not over, 3 wins in a row baby.

Enough of the spiked punch kid... A neck injury is serious business, Ware's life is more important to me and I'm sure a lot of us feel that way.

Mike gave a thumbs up and his career ended. I'm holding my breath. :

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Glad it's nothing more serious, or at least it sounds like it's not.

I'm not usually one to really get super down after something like this, especially since technically we've still got life, but at this point I am inclined to agree and sit him and let him get healthy for next year cause I just don't believe this team has any shot of making the playoffs this year.

I can't see us beating the Saints next week and without some help I don't think winning the Skins and Eagles games will be enough.

*Shrugs* Probably just the sting of todays defeat but oh well. Thats how it goes.

I hope DWare is o.k.

My prayers are with him.

Ware had a head-on collision with Chargers offensive tackle Brandyn Dombrowski.

No, it was head vs. hip. Great reporting

I rant and rave and ***** and moan when the Cowboys lose, but seeing Ware or anyone being carted off with what thankfully may not be as seious an injury as it first appeared just reminds me it's just a game and not life and death though I may not always act like that. I am just glad the prognosis is good for Ware, I'm with letting him sit out and get healthy and ready for next year.
