NFL Photographer Kelly Smiley Says She Fractured Her Spine During Rams’ Victory Parade

NFL photographer Kelly Smiley says she fractured her spine after falling off the stage at the Rams’ Super Bowl victory parade on Thursday.

The fall occurred as she was attempting to take pictures of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly.

Smile wrote on Instagram afterward that she was “feeling ok.”

“Staying the night in the trauma center. Thanks to everyone for reaching out,” Smiley said.

Smiley said earlier on Wednesday she had undergone an X-ray to determine the extent of the injury and added that both of her cameras were damaged in the fall.
