The team reports he was alert with full movement during transport to a Houston hospital for evaluation.

Overview

  • Arizona ruled Baccellia out for the remainder of the Week 15 game after diagnosing a neck injury.
  • The injury occurred with under two minutes left in the first half on a 26-yard return to the Arizona 29.
  • Medical staff tended to him for about 10 minutes, removed his facemask, immobilized him on a backboard, and took him off on a cart.
  • He gave a thumbs up to the crowd as he exited, and the team said he had full movement of all extremities.
  • Before leaving, he logged two kickoff returns for 53 yards; the Washington product has been on and off Arizona’s roster since 2021.
