Former LSU wide receiver Russell Gage suffered a serious injury in the Monday Night playoff game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys while attempting to catch a pass from the quarterback Tom Brady.

Gage took a hard shot to the neck and was unable to get up under his own power. He was eventually taken off the field by stretcher and went to a local hospital for evaluation.

The Bucs released the following update on Gage's injury Tuesday at 9:45 am CT.

are you 12 years old? Gage has only been gone 5 years - you honestly don't remember him? And you don't "walk on" to a pro team.

He is not a former LSU wide receiver. He was on LSU's track team and walked on for the Bucs.

That was Cyril Grayson. Gage was on the football team. Gage came in as a DB and then switched to WR his last two seasons.

That was scary when that neck went 90 degrees. When they showed his leg jumping...man I was just hoping that wasn't some kind of seizure going on.

Apparently not...great news.

I think he was just in pain tbh and that is why he was moving around so much.
