Jets Star Rookie Leaves Game With Potential Head Injury

The New York Jets are closing in on a very impressive road win against the Green Bay Packers in Week 6 on the back of some incredible young players, and one of those who has shone brightly today is Sauce Gardner, who's been elite so far in his rookie year, but after making a tackle late in the fourth quarter, it appears he has headed to the locker room with a potential head injury.

Sauce has once again been amazing in Week 6, with several pass deflections and a pick-6 that was eventually called back as an incompletion, but late in the game, he is now being evaluated for a concussion, and while the game has already been iced, this is one that will have Jets fans holding their breath.

Gardner has been one of the best cornerbacks in the entire league in his rookie year, and with the combination of size, skill and speed, he has the potential to be the best player from the 2022 NFL Draft, which has already produced several players with star potential. As of right now, Sauce won't come back in with so little game time to go, but with the issues surrounding concussions lately in the NFL, this could be a story all week long.
