It’s not something that you see very often, but in the first quarter of the 2014 NFL Pro Bowl, Buffalo Bills safety Jairus Byrd went down with an injury.

Byrd, who is set to become a free agent this offseason, sat on the turf as the medical team checked out his leg.

There is no news on the full extent of his injury, but the good news is that he was able to walk off of the field under his own power.

Immediately after the injury time out, Team Sanders dialed up a flea-flicker and Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson made a big play to haul in the touchdown that gives Deion’s team an early 7-0 lead.
