NFLSU: Gage hurt,10 ex-Tigers advance after winning playoff games

Former LSU wide receiver Russell Gage of the Tampa Bay Bucs was carted off the field Sunday night late in the Bucs' 31-14 Wild Card weekend loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Gage was hit trying to catch a pass and landed awkwardly with 2:55 left in the game.

He tried to rise to his feet, but dropped back down on the turf. He was strapped to a stabilizing board and carted away with the entire Bucs' team on the field for support.

Gage may have re-injured his back which he hurt a week ago at Atlanta after he landed hard on his back making a TD catch.

LSU had 10 former players from six teams survive the NFL’s Wild Card weekend while 14 ex-Tigers on six teams had their seasons end.

Another former Tiger, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and his Kansas City Chiefs, enjoyed a Wild Card weekend bye as the AFC’s No. 1 seed this past weekend.
