On Friday, the team provided an update on the health of both professional football players, noting that Ojomo has a concussion and Cleveland has been diagnosed with a concussion and a neck sprain. The Eagles claimed that both professional football players were responsive and had complete use of their extremities while playing.
Professional football players from Philadelphia suffered several injuries that night. After suffering an ankle injury early in the second quarter, cornerback Zech McPhearson was deemed ineligible for the contest. A source claimed on Friday that McPhearson has a torn Achilles. Both wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie first-round pick Nolan Smith left the game due to injuries to their shoulders. Josh Andrews, an offensive lineman, left the game in the first half due to an ankle injury and did not come back.
Smith, whose standout performance during training camp has drawn attention, told reporters afterward that he is “feeling good” and that he was removed from the game out of caution.
The most terrifying incidents involved Cleveland’s injuries, who fell on his head and neck while attempting to make a diving catch and Ojomo’s apparent accidental contact with a teammate on a different play. Both professional football players were carried off the field against the Browns.
Before being put on stretchers as teammates surrounded them, both professional football players remained on the ground for a long time.
Marcus Mariota, a quarterback, said: “Your heart goes out to them first and foremost, and you just think about your teammate.” “We play a game, and it’s a blessing to play a game, but when these situations get like that, it is scary.”
The Philadelphia Eagles, the defending NFC champions, took on the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night to start the second week of preseason games for the 2023 NFL season.
The Cincinnati Bengals played the Atlanta Falcons on the road, while the New York Giants hosted the Carolina Panthers at home.
