Philadelphia Eagles player Mike Patterson collapsed from a seizure on the practice field Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles said.
"Patterson was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital where he is being tested to see why he experienced the seizure. Patterson has had no complications from the seizure," the football team said on its website.
It is unknown whether the incident is heat-related, but it comes at a time when many states are dealing with sweltering temperatures and a few high school football players have died after falling ill with heat-related symptoms at practice.
The temperature was about 80 degrees during the Eagles' morning practice.
It wasn't funny the first time it was said.
Boy. I really symapthise with him. My neighbor is 53, single and has had seizures her whole life. I cook for her a lot, because of it.
Haters gonna hate! Who care about the past! Watching him score 6 makes it all go away. Go Ealges!
I'll go on hating. Gravity. Especially in the morning.
As for him, don't know him, but I'll do the right thing and wish him well and no recurrence of his medical problem.
Get well mike. We need ya. Fly eagles fly

This is NOT a funny thing. I don't follow pro sports but I wish him well.
Mike, get better soon and come back to play.
