While Gage was going for pass, the right arm of Cowboys safety Donovan Wilson hit the side of Gage's helmet.

Gage then attempted to regain his feet several times but was unable to do so.

Earlier in January, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during an NFL game. He has now been released from hospital.

In September 2022, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion four days after being injured in their previous game.
