Thursday night’s Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) and Cleveland Browns (1-1) game was temporarily put on hold following Eagles wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland getting carted off the field after a brutal hit, possibly resulting in a head or neck injury.
Support for Cleveland was shown around the league.
Prayers for Tyre Cleveland. 🙏

On a third down play by the Eagles, Cleveland collided with a Browns defender, resulting in him landing hard on the ground.
He stayed on the ground in the same position, and the medical staff was quick to act, especially in the wake of the Damar Hamlin situation in January when he collapsed on the field.
Injury Update: WR Tyrie Cleveland is out with a neck injury. He has movement in all of his extremities.
