Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Tommy Maddox was taken off the field at Tennessee by ambulance Sunday, but had movement in his extremities when he was admitted to a Nashville hospital with a bruised spinal cord and a concussion.

Maddox, 31, was hurt on the final play of the third quarter. He was taken to Baptist Hospital’s trauma unit, and Steelers spokesman Ron Wahl said Maddox was awake and alert, with sensation and movement in all his extremities.

Maddox was falling forward as he completed a pass to Antwaan Randle El when Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck put his elbow into Maddox’s left shoulder. Maddox rolled forward onto his head and did not move.
