  • He later moved his arms and legs, spoke with doctors on the sideline, and walked under his own power before being taken to a hospital.
  • Rookies KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Tre Harris have received increased first-team snaps as short-term depth in the receiver corps.
  • The team has not provided a recovery timeline and is awaiting test results under the NFL’s concussion protocol.
