Damn, I hope he's okay, does not look good.
 
Just carted off the field in SD.......they had him immobilized........did not see what happened
 
Beach was down a looong time with little to no movement. Looked like he tweaked his leg, but may be more of a neck injury. Hate to see guys stay down that long, damn.

A bad day for Jacksonville hasn’t gotten any better in the second half.

The Chargers show no signs of blowing another lead after building a 21-0 halftime edge into a 35-point lead through three quarters and now the Jaguars have seen their left tackle carted off the field.

Kelvin Beachum appeared to get kicked in the head during a play late in the third quarter and remained down on the ground at the end of the play. Medical personnel came to his side and Beachum was strapped to a back board before being put on the back of a cart to exit the game.

It’s the second scene like that during Sunday’s games. Saints cornerback P.J. Williams also needed to be immobilized after taking a blow to the head. He has been diagnosed with a concussion, but appears to have avoided any spinal damage.
 
Jesus. Hope he is OK.
 
Jaguars LT Kelvin Beachum was carted off the field with an apparent head or neck injury Week 2 against the Chargers. Beachum took a knee to the helmet while falling late in the third quarter. He was immobilized on a backboard on the field before being carted off. He was taken to a waiting ambulance outside of the stadium and transferred to a hospital.

It appears he got knocked out, which, if he doesn't keep getting dinged, is actually better news than blowing an ACL, which is what I thought it was at first.
 
That sucks, there goes our 3rd round comp pick...
 
Wow. Here's hoping it's much less serious than it sounds from reading these descriptions. Get better, Kelvin!!!
 
Thoughts and prayers for Beach.
 
Sounds like he will be OK has movement in extremities.
 
Hope you are ok Beach...
