Dallas Cowboys’ linebacker Leighton Vander Esch left Sunday night’s game just before halftime with a neck injury.

Vander Esch, who is in his second season with the Cowboys, left for the locker room after being evaluated in the medical tent on the sidelines.

A player’s body landed awkwardly on Vander Esch’s helmet and neck area on the play. His return to the game is questionable.
