Kansas City Chiefs star Tyreek Hill has been taken to a Jacksonville hospital after sustaining a shoulder injury during his team’s 40-26 victory over the Jaguars.

The team’s head athletic trainer said Hill had a “sternoclavicular joint injury,” which is where the collarbone meets the sternum and can become a serious medical issue.

Hill was taken to Baptist Medical Center and his care was turned over to an ortho-trauma physician.

Hill was hurt while being tackled by Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey near the sideline.

His injury came just two days after Hill signed a three-year, $54 million contract extension with the Chiefs.
