Arizona Cardinals guard Mike Iupati was taken off the field in an ambulance during Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

The three-time Pro Bowler was taken to the hospital with a neck injury but was released following tests and will fly back to Arizona with the team, the Cardinals said in a statement.

Iupati absorbed a hit to the helmet from Kam Chancellor during the second quarter of Sunday's game before falling to the ground immediately. He was attended to by medical staff for several minutes.

There was no immediate information on the nature of Iupati's injury but it appeared doctors were tending to his neck or shoulder.

Earl Watford replaced Iupati at left guard.
