Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith was carried off the field Sunday after suffering head and neck injuries when he was run over by a Los Angeles Rams defender.

The play occurred late in the first quarter, as Smith was attempting to block for quarterback Matt Ryan against oncoming Rams linebacker Corey Littleton.

Littleton attempted to run right through the running back and ended up injuring Smith in the process.
