Giants TE Tommy Sweeney Stable After Leaving Field Due to Medical Event
New York Giants tight end Tommy Sweeney is stable, alert, and conversant after being forced to leave the field on a cart following what the Giants say was "a medical event" during his rehab workout on a side field.
Sweeney, who has been nursing an undisclosed ailment, was doing some onfield work for the first time since his undisclosed injury emerged last Friday when he fell to the ground and stayed down.
The team's medical staff quickly attended to Sweeney. Head coach Brian Daboll also went over to check on him. Sweeney was later helped to a cart, his practice jersey off, and driven back to the team's training room for further evaluation, Sweeney sitting upright in the cart as it drove off.
The 28-year-old tight end, a Ramsey, NJ native, signed a one-year, $1.08 million contract with the Giants during the height of the free agency signing period after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Bills.
Sweeney has been in competition with Lawrence Cager, Ryan Jones, and Chris Myarick for a spot on the Giants' tight ends depth chart behind Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger. Sweeney missed last week's preseason game against the Panthers with an undisclosed injury and was unlikely to play this weekend against the Jets.
A Giants team spokesperson said that Sweeney is "under the care of medical professionals in the Giants athletic training room and is stable, alert, and conversant."
