Giants’ Tommy Sweeney ‘stable’ after collapsing due to ‘medical event’ on practice field, team says

The New York Giants experienced a scary moment during Wednesday’s practice when tight end Tommy Sweeney collapsed halfway through the session.

Doctors and coaches came over to check on the Giants tight end, before he was eventually carted off the practice field. The Giants later said the 28-year-old was in “stable” condition.

Team officials characterized the incident as a “medical event,” saying Sweeney was “under the care of medical professionals in the Giants athletic training room.”

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones said seeing Sweeney down and needing medical attention “was extremely scary.”

Sweeney was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round in 2019.

He suffered a foot injury in July 2020 and was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. He moved to the reserve/COVID-19 list in October 2020 before he eventually returned to the PUP list following a myocarditis diagnosis.
