During a Thursday night game in Cleveland, there was a concerning incident involving Brown"s Elijah Moore. In the second quarter, Moore was tackled, and the way he fell was alarming. His head hit the ground first, and then he rolled onto his back. While on the ground, Moore"s head shook, and his arms began flailing in a way that suggested he had no control over them.
A teammate quickly called for the training staff as a precaution. The Amazon Prime Video broadcast switched camera angles promptly. Trainers attended to Moore, and although he walked off the field with assistance, he did not return to the game. The Browns later confirmed that he suffered a concussion.
Really scary moment for Elijah Moore, who looks like he started seizing after the hit. Hope he is okay. pic.twitter.com/IOZ6apzwil

According to Dr. Evan Jeffries, Moore"s movements appeared to be “involuntary" and linked to a brain injury. Another doctor, Jesse Morse, suggested that Moore might have experienced a seizure.
Before the injury, Moore had a solid game with five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown against his former team, the New York Jets. The Browns were already without Amari Cooper due to a heel injury. As of the latest update, the Browns had not provided further details beyond confirming the concussion.
