Ravens' Jared Gaither OK After Neck Injury Against Patriots It was a scary moment on Sunday when Baltimore's offensive tackle Jared Gaither collided with quarterback Joe Flacco, but the injury sustained is not expected to be serious, according the The Baltimore Sun.

The report says that Gaither underwent X-rays at Massachusetts General Hospital, which came back negative. Gaither, at 6-foot-9, 340 pounds, was too big to fit in the MRI machine, though he is expected to undergo the test on Monday.

Gaither was pushed by a Patriots defender into Flacco, and it appeared as though Gaither's neck took the brunt of the force. He lay on the field for an extended period of time before he was taken off on a backboard.
