There was a terrifying scene early in Sunday’s game between the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots. Lions safety Saivion Smith with down with an injury that required an on-field ambulance to take him off the field. Smith’s family members came down out of the stands to ride in the ambulance as the Lions safety was escorted off the field.
It’s unclear what exactly happened on the play. Smith was lined up opposite tight end Hunter Henry, and the two were locked up in a physical rep. But quickly thereafter, Smith collapsed to the floor.
