Detroit Lions cornerback Khalil Dorsey needed an aircast and a stretcher as he was carted off of the field during the first quarter of his team’s Week 15 meeting with the Buffalo Bills.
Dorsey collided with teammate Ezekiel Turner as both dropped in man coverage against their respective pass-catchers. Bills receiver Amari Cooper ran a route that crossed with running back Ty Johnson, and as Dorsey ran to catch up with the veteran wideout, his shin collided hard with Turner’s.
The cornerback remained down on the field, and the entire Lions team appeared to come out onto the field as their teammate received medical attention. Trainers put an air cast on Dorsey’s right leg and carted him off of the field on a stretcher.
