Eagles’ Tyrie Cleveland carted off field with a neck injury in worrying scenes for Philadelphia receiver vs. Cleveland Browns
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 John Kelly Jr. 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.
Amid the tremendously worrying scenes, players from both teams huddled around Cleveland and gave him their well-wishes.
WPVI TV reporter Jamie Apody shared a video to X of Eagles fans performing the Mexican Wave as Cleveland was being treated on the field prior to being carted off.
‘Not the time folks,’ Apody wrote with the accompanying video. ‘I love you. I do. But not the time.’
The 25-year-old has played 23 career games — all for the Denver Broncos — before he was signed to the Eagles’ practice squad in January.
