Watch rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon make another nice pass breakup but take a shot in the back from George Kittle, who was taking a shot in the back from Jamal Adams at the same time.

A short time later officials stopped the game so that Witherspoon could be evaluated in the blue medical tent. He is now on the sidelines wearing a wrap around his torso.
