Ravens’ Jared Gaither Taken To Hospital

Baltimore left tackle Jared Gaither has movement in both arms and legs after being taken off the field on a stretcher.

Jared Gaither was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital for tests on his neck and shoulder Sunday after a collision in the backfield midway through the second quarter of the Ravens’ game with the New England Patriots.

The 6-foot-9, 340-pound Jared Gaither was dropping back as he blocked defensive end Jarvis Green. Meanwhile, defensive end Ty Warren rushed quarterback Joe Flacco from the other side and shoved Flacco into Jared Gaither’s back after Flacco released a short incomplete pass.

Joe Flacco and Jared Gaither both went down, but Flacco quickly got up.

The 23-year-old Jared Gaither remained on his back for about 10 minutes surrounded by medical personnel. He was strapped to a board, which was lifted onto a cart that took him off the field.

The Ravens drafted Jared Gaither in the fifth round in 2007 while he had two years of eligibility remaining at Maryland. Jared Gaither played six games as a rookie, starting two of them. Jared Gaither played in all 16 regular-season games last year and started 15, then started the Ravens three postseason games.

Jared Gaither started all four games this year.
