Andre Baccellia was alert with full movement after a neck injury on kickoff return and was ruled out for the game, having recorded 53 return yards, the Cardinals said.

  • On Sunday, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andre Baccellia was taken off the field on a stretcher after an injury on a kickoff return against the Houston Texans.
  • In the closing moments of the second quarter, Baccellia was returned a kickoff 26 yards before being taken down in a scrum near the 30-yard line, going down around the 29-yard line.
  • With players watching, trainers removed his facemask, immobilized Baccellia on a backboard, and loaded him onto a stretcher as the crowd at NRG Stadium cheered and he gave a thumbs-up.
  • The Cardinals announced Baccellia was taken to a Houston-area hospital for further evaluation and ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game after two kick returns, 53 return yards.
