NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end William Gholston has been carted off on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance with what team officials are saying was a neck injury.

Team officials were unclear on the precise nature of the injury or how it occurred after Gholston collapsed while he was trying to fight off a block.

While medical personnel treated the injury with caution, Gholston could be seen moving his extremities and giving a thumbs-up.

Gholston has 24 solo or assisted tackles this season and does not have a sack.
