Ware Sprains Neck Sunday, ‘Has Full Movement In His Extremities’

It’s one of the few times the phrase “just a sprained neck” is applicable, but if you saw DeMarcus Ware collapse to the ground where he then remained motionless, you would agree that it’s appropriate in this case. And that is the official word coming from the Cowboys: a strained neck.

Ware was immobilized on a stretcher, carted off the field and taken to the hospital for X-rays and further evaluation.

The Cowboys, who provided the diagnosis of a sprained neck, also said Ware was “aware and alert with full movement and strength in his extremities.”

Ware was pursing quarterback Philip Rivers early in the fourth quarter Sunday when he collided into Brandyn Dombrowski. Ware’s head went straight into Dombrowski’s upper leg, then Ware remained on the ground.
