Eagles wideout Tyrie Cleveland was carted off Lincoln Financial Field midway through the third quarter of Philadelphia’s preseason game vs. Cleveland.
Despite the incredibly troubling first appearances, the Eagles revealed Cleveland had suffered a neck injury and crucially, ‘has movement in all of his extremities.’
The former Bronco looked like he was briefly knocked out after rising high for a jump ball against Browns defensive back Gavin Heslop only to land with his head/neck area driving hard into the ground.
Cleveland lay relatively lifeless before players and personnel surrounded him.
The Houston native had a neck brace placed upon him and was put on a stretcher before leaving the field on the cart.
