Niles Paul took a hard high hit Helmet-to-Helmet Shot and Was Knocked Out

Late in the first half of Thursday night’s game, Washington tight end Niles Paul caught a pass and then was crunched between a pair of Giants defenders. A helmet-to-helmet hit from safety Will Demps drew a flag — and also knocked Paul out of the game.After catching a pass over the middle, Paul lowered his head and braced for impact from three defenders and took a lethal shot. After the hit, his body froze and he dropped the ball upon hitting the ground. Paul probably won’t remember the play tomorrow, and he’s been ruled out for the game.Those two defenders slammed him from either side, with safety Quintin Demps doing most of the damage via a helmet-to-helmet hit. Paul's hands extended stiff in front of him for a few moments after the hit, suggesting he was knocked unconscious. The ball came lose at the end, but officials ruled Paul controlled the catch to the ground. Demps was flagged for an illegal hit and 15 yards were tacked on.
