Browns lead medical team physician Sean Cupp spent Friday at James F. Rhodes High School in an effort to highlight the NFL Foundation’s Athletic Trainer program.
In conjunction with the Cleveland Browns and University Hospitals, the program provides two certified athletic trainers at Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s Rhodes and John Hay high schools, whose football teams faced off this weekend. And Cupp and other Browns personnel were on site to recognize the grant and what it means.
“Athletic trainers are very important at our high school football games because they’re the first responders any time an athlete is injured,” Cupp said, “whether it’s a medical or orthopedic problem and they're the first one to report to us as medical physicians what’s going on the sidelines.
