Taliaferro's head hit another player's knee and went backwards. This injured nerves in the area of his cervical spine.

Taliaferro's body movement was prohibited to avoid more injury. He was also treated with steroids to avoid the body from swelling in the cervical spine area. When an injury occurs, the body elicits chemical processes that cause swelling. In a spinal injury this can cause more damage and therefore must be restricted.

Taliaferro had a spinal fusion surgery where a surgeon placed metal pins and pieces of bone in his cervical spine to supplement it. After rehabilitation, his ability to control his movement slowly came back.
