The health status of Ravens running back Willis McGahee is still unknown after he was carted off the field towards the end of the Ravens loss to the Steelers in the AFC championship game. McGahee’s injury was the result of a brutal hit by Steelers safety Ryan Clark. It was a helmet-to-helmet hit, but it was clean because McGahee was carrying the ball. McGahee fumbled the ball on the play and laid motionless on the ground for several minutes afterward. After he was put on the stretcher, he could be seen moving his arms and legs, but reportedly suffered from severe neck pain.

This is not the first time McGahee has suffered a serious injury during a big game. In his final season of college football, millions of fans watching on national TV could see McGahee’s knee bend sideways during the national championship game. That injury lowered his draft status, though the Bills would eventually pick him in the first round with the hopes that he could become a star running back after rehab.
