WATCH:
Per ESPN:
Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore spent Thursday night in a hospital after suffering a head injury during Cleveland’s 37-20 win over the New York Jets.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Moore is home now and is in the concussion protocol.
Moore suffered the injury in the second quarter after his forehead crashed into the turf. He started shaking on the ground before trainers rushed to the field. Moore eventually got up and was helped to the injury tent then to the locker room.
“He’s doing better,” Stefanski said. “Those are always scary.”
The sudden and unexpected occurrence of involuntary body movements quickly drew the attention of medical experts onto X, with many responding to the event.
Tough brain injury symptoms displayed by Elijah Moore last night. The #concussion caused circuits of his brain to fire involuntarily. Very unsettling, even for a neuroscientist. Let's hope for a good recovery. pic.twitter.com/8me6pjr1BP
