Bears safety Douglas Coleman III was immobilized and taken off the field on a cart after being injured while tackling Chiefs wideout Cornell Powell in the third quarter of Thursday night's preseason finale.

Viewers watched Coleman make the tackle and then fall to the ground. Nearby teammates immediately reacted to the play by calling for the Bears' training staff. It occurred near the Chiefs' sideline, so the Kansas City trainers arrived first to evaluate Coleman.
The Bears' safety was treated on the field, then loaded onto a bodyboard and onto a cart before being taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
