Eddie Royal leaves Chargers practice by ambulance

This sounds serious.

The Chargers have endured plenty of injuries to receivers in recent weeks. None have been quite as scary as the one that occurred on Saturday.

Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego reports that veteran Eddie Royal hit the ground hard while making a catch during team drills. After on-field evaluation from trainers, an ambulance arrived to take Royal to a local hospital.

Initially, Royal got up after the catch and walked toward the trainers room. He stopped on the way, and trainers worked on him there.

The ambulance wasn’t already present at practice. Unless the session was simply a walkthrough, an ambulance always should be present at practice.

If it was a walkthrough, Royal’s injury suggests that an ambulance should be present for those sessions, too.

Chargers player said Eddie Royal was coughing up blood...a lot of the guys are on their way to visit him at hospital

Sounds like he might have fallen on the ball?

We also lost a cornerback (Steve Williams) for the season with a torn pectoral muscle, which is bad, because our CB's suck.

Chargers wide receiver Eddie Royal departed Saturday’s practice via ambulance after a post-catch fall.

The good news? A league source tells PFT’s Mike Florio that initial tests on Royal have all been negative.

The Chargers are awaiting more news on the sixth-year receiver from Virginia Tech.

After practice, coach Mike McCoy, in a transcript from the club, described Royal’s injury.

“Eddie (Royal) went up for a ball, caught the ball, landed on his back and felt shortness of breath,” McCoy said. “He had a little bit of a hard time breathing. We’re going to take him to the hospital and check him out. That’s all I’ve got right now. I can’t tell you anymore. I don’t know a whole lot about it.”

Royal, 27, is in his second season with San Diego. He spent his first four NFL seasons with Denver.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 01:27 PM.
