Bucs TE Cameron Brate leaves game on a stretcher after scary hit

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate left Sunday’s game on a stretcher after taking a scary hit against the Pittsburgh Steelers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate appeared to suffer another head injury during Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After missing last week’s game from a previous head injury, Brate cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol earlier this week, allowing him to play Sunday.

After taking a hard hit to the helmet in the third quarter, Brate was put on a back board and carted off the field. He gave the crowd a thumbs-up as he left the field on a stretcher.

Unsurprisingly, Brate was quickly ruled out, but the Bucs did provide a somewhat encouraging update on his status in the locker room:
