Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris was taken off the field in an ambulance after suffering an apparent serious injury during the team's 'Sunday Night Football' matchup with the New York Giants in a situation eerily similar to the one involving teammate Damar Hamlin nine months prior.

Harris, 26, was initially reportedly to have suffered a neck injury, but had movement in his arms and legs, according to the Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. The former Alabama standout was seen giving a thumbs up while on a gurney.

The Bills later confirmed that Harris had "movement in his arms and legs" and was "being taken to the hospital for further testing" in a post shared on its public relations X account shortly after Buscaglia's report.

Harris recorded one carry for one yard before being ruled out of the game. The veteran running back entered Sunday's (October 15) game with 93 yards and one touchdown on 22 rushing attempts.

Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest during the first quarter of the Bills' since-canceled Monday Night Football game against the Bengals on January 2. A stretcher and ambulance came onto the field and CPR was administered by first responders. The 25-year-old was activated before Buffalo's Week 4 win against the Miami Dolphins, marking his first appearance in an NFL game since suffering cardiac arrest.
