In Week 5, Detroit Lions defensive back Saivion Smith was elevated from the practice squad and started at safety. Just two snaps into the game, Smith fell to the turf after suffering a concussion that required an ambulance to be brought onto the field to escort him and his family to a local hospital.
While it was an incredibly scary moment on the field, it’s been relatively positive news for Smith since then, all things considered. By the time Smith arrived at the hospital, he had movement in his extremities, was eventually cleared of a neck injury, and was able to return home with the Lions following the game.
