Jets guard Xavier Newman suffered a scary injury in the third quarter of the Jets’ 37-15 loss to the Steelers Sunday night in Pittsburgh when he fell awkwardly along the sideline.
He stumbled backwards after an Aaron Rodgers’ pass was intercepted by the Steelers and as he tried to catch his balance, he landed the wrong way, sending him to the ground in extreme pain.

The Jets training staff looked at Newman on the field and he was subsequently carted off the field in Pittsburgh.
He was ruled out with a neck injury.
Newman had been playing for the injured Alijah Vera-Tucker.
