TE Blizzard taken in ambulance

For the second day in a row, the Bengals had a backup tight end taken off the practice field in an ambulance.

Just minutes ago, Bobby Blizzard, a first-year NFL player from North Carolina, suffered a lower back injury during a live goal-line drill. He was face down on the grass for several minutes, but he was moving his legs, head and neck.

Blizzard appeared to get twisted on the edge of the pile and tossed back first on top of a couple of other players.

He was transported to Georgetown Community Hospital, Bengals public relations director Jack Brennan said. The injury was not to the spine or neck. It was a football injury to the lower back and might be serious, Brennan said.

On Monday, backup tight end Sean Mulcahy was removed from the field on a back board and taken to the University of Kentucky trauma center. He returned to camp Monday night to rest in his room. There was no update available Tuesday on his condition.
