NFL hopeful suffers scary injury after crashing | NFL News

American soccer participant Keontez Lewis sustained a scary injury on Saturday night when he crashed into a brick wall. The broad receiver was taking part in for Oklahoma Sooners during their 44-0 thrashing of Kent City when he smashed into the brick wall surrounding the pitch after sprinting at full tempo into one of the end zones while chasing an overthrown ball from quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr.

Lewis acquired rapid medical consideration following the collision and was examined for a number of minutes before being carried off on a stretcher. “He was alert,” Oklahoma’s head coach Brent Venables said after the sport. “He was in some pain in his back. And I won’t get into all the details, but yeah, he was going full speed, and ran into the wall. You’re dang right, I was very concerned.

“I’m grateful once I obtained over there, realised based on the issues and questions he was answering, was very coherent. [He said], ‘My head’s superb, my legs are superb.’

“Again, just probably being like being in a car wreck, I would guess. I haven’t seen the video of it. I was thankful it seemed and appeared that all things considered he was OK.

“The initial analysis was good. Promising. The latest scans had been good as effectively. But man, what a scary factor for him. Hopefully he’ll be OK long time period right here.”

Lewis started his college profession at UCLA before transferring to Wisconsin, where he remained for two years prior to transferring to Southern Illinois last season.

The fifth-year senior receiver has subsequently secured a beginning place with the Sooners and has 17 receptions for 210 yards, plus two touchdowns, this season.
