Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Dean Pees was carted off the field on a back board shortly before Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints after suffering an undisclosed injury during pregame warmups.
The injury appeared to occur when Saints receiver Rashid Shaheed inadvertently ran into Pees near the Falcons sideline while attempting to field a punt.
With Saints and Falcons coaches and executives watching nearby, Pees received medical attention near the sideline. One medical professional stabilized his neck while the cart was brought out.
