Ray Davis injury updates: Bills RB exits Wild Card game vs. Broncos after scary collision
Bills RB Ray Davis was taken to the locker room after a scary collision with Broncos defender Brandon Jones
The Buffalo Bills are locked in a tight contest against the visiting Denver Broncos in an AFC Wild Card game, but there is bigger concern on the Bills sideline after running back Ray Davis was shaken up after a scary collision on a passing play during the third quarter.
With Josh Allen and the Bills offense facing a 2nd-and-long situation in the third quarter, the Bills quarterback lofted to a throw to Davis along the right side. Davis was hit by defender Brandon Jones, and the running back remained down on the field at Highmark Stadium for an extended time:
