WATCH: Denver Broncos RB Juwan Thompson Drops His Head Right Before Getting Nailed By Lions Defender

One of the many early lessons you learn when you start playing football is not to drop your head before you go into contact with another player. It is a great way to hurt your neck. If you are lucky all you will suffer will be a stinger, but the risk of something much worse happening is there.

The Denver Broncos have not said what is wrong with the neck of running back Juwan Thompson; just that he has a neck injury. With the way his head appeared to get shoved down into the rest of the body it is not hard to imagine it being serious (hopefully it is not).

Not sure how either guy walked off. Especially Thompson the RB. #DENvsDET #NBC pic.twitter.com/hFAJRQoDoI
