Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Quincy Black was carted off the field on Sunday after suffering a head and neck injury in the third quarter.

Black suffered the injury after a helmet-to-helmet collision with Chargers running back Ryan Mathews.

He remained on the field for several minutes before being taken away on the stretcher but did flash a "thumbs up" to the crowd as he was carted off.
