A scary moment occurred in the first half of Thursday’s game between the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts. Following a collision with Denver’s Deiontrez Mount, Indianapolis tight end was taken off of the field in a stretcher and into an ambulance.
This looks frightening: Colts' Brandon Williams has been on the turf for several minutes, medical staff putting him on a stretcher.

But as scary as the situation was, it’s not as bad as it originally looked.
The initial fear what that Williams, who has spinal stenosis, had suffered a neck injury. It was later reported that he has a head injury which, in this case, is a good thing. The team also reported that he has movement in his extremities.
Colts are saying that Williams has movement in his limbs, it's a head injury, not a neck injury.

Certainly, there’s reason to be cautiously optimistic.
We can only hope that more positive news comes.
