<p class="">INJURY UPDATE: <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/Jaguars'>@Jaguars</a> LT Kelvin Beachum has sustained a concussion and is being taken to the hospital for further evaluation.

Probably no way he plays next couple weeks. I anticipate he comes back after the Bye

Thoughts and prayers for him. It was not good having to watch him carted off.

Sons of all [BLEEP]

Was very concerning he didn't move at all but they said he was in the ambulance. Looked like such a freak injury, he didn't get hit hard or anything, but sometimes it just happens.


Hope he's ok and has a speedy recovery.

Heard he can move his hands but had to be cut out of his jersey and pads.

I thought Omameh played well in spot duty.

Tweet from Tim Bee (@TimBeeSports) - Kelvin Beachum was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures. Tests are negative. All things considered good news #Jaguars

All tests are negative, but he's being kept overnight for observation.

I'm assuming they didn't want to pull anything over his head to prevent moving his neck at all

Wait? All the tests were negative? Nothing is wrong with him?

That's not necessarily true. You can still have a concussion without any definitive testing for it to show up on. All the tests being negative mean that something much more serious (neck injury, etc.) has been thankfully avoided. 

Honestly... I'm happy to hear its a concussion. It looked bad... Very very bad.


Concussions are not "good", but I feared worse.


Get well Beachum!

Assuming that means he does not have a spinal injury.

Me too.

I was at the game.

Right exterior to the field.

He went flat down from a knee to the head ( that's what it looked like live)

Another comment. ...

We had Noone anywhere near Melvin nor Woodhead when they broke those runs...

And you guys think poz looks slow on TV huh?

He should not be playing coverage at ALL.

the chargers walked away from him and Ramsey had to run past him to tackle the ball carrier

If your talking about the busted coverage that Poz had....it was Gipson that got lost.

Gipson made the tackle.

Oic...

Hard to tell from the stands

Well it's kind of like they don't know if a player has CTE until he's having an autopsy done. The brain is a tricky thing.
