49ers Safety Jimmie Ward Knocked Himself Out Tackling CeeDee Lamb With His Head

SJ - December 20, 2020

49ers safety Jimmie Ward took a quick nap on the field against the Cowboys. It happened after a big time hit on Dallas wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Ward unfortunately decided to use his head to make the tackle and it cost him a few brain cells. Medical staff was quickly waved out to help the sleeping Ward.

What a catch by Lamb.

Also, I think Jimmie Ward knocked himself out.pic.twitter.com/4swEIDwVVD

This is why you don't tackle with your head! CTE is no joke and it's hits like this one that helps to spread it.
