FINAL: Eagles and Browns tie.
Preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, two Philadelphia Eagles players, wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland and rookie defensive lineman Moro Ojomo, had to be carted off the field due to neck injuries they sustained.
Fortunately, both players still have movement in their extremities, according to an announcement by the team.
Coach Nick Sirianni shared, "I haven't had a chance to speak with the medical staff yet, but it seems that they are able to move. I don't have any additional information at this point."
The game saw several other injuries for the Philadelphia team. Cornerback Zech McPhearson had to exit the game after injuring his ankle early in the second quarter.
Rookie first-round pick Nolan Smith left the field with a shoulder injury, and receiver Olamide Zaccheaus also suffered a similar fate.
Offensive lineman Josh Andrews suffered an ankle injury in the first half and didn't return to the game.
Nolan Smith, who has garnered attention with his impressive performance during training camp, assured reporters afterward that he's "feeling good" and that his removal from the game was a precautionary measure.
The situation doesn't look as promising for McPhearson, as he was unable to put any weight on his right leg after deflecting a pass and falling to the ground.
The most concerning moments revolved around the injuries to Tyrie Cleveland and Moro Ojomo.
Cleveland landed on his head and neck area while attempting a diving catch, while Ojomo seemed to have been accidentally struck by one of his teammates on a separate play.
Both players remained on the field for an extended period before being placed on stretchers, with their teammates gathered around for support.
Quarterback Marcus Mariota empathized, saying, "Our primary concern is for them, and you can't help but think about your teammate in situations like this.
Playing a game is a privilege, but when incidents like these occur, it reminds us of the seriousness of the situation."
