New York Jets offensive lineman Xavier Newman was carted off the field in Pittsburgh after what appeared to be a serious injury Sunday against the Steelers.

The team said Newman would miss the rest of the game with a neck injury.

Newman was hurt in the third quarter when Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was intercepted by Pittsburgh’s Beanie Bishop Jr., who returned 41 yards.

During the return, Newman was blocked and fell awkwardly. When he remained down, Jets teammates surrounded him out of bounds for several minutes.

The “Sunday Night Football” broadcast reported that Newman was conscious and had movement in his limbs as he was strapped to a spine board before he was carted off and taken to a hospital in Pittsburgh.
