High School Football Player Suffers Brain Contusion | Norfolk Attorney

A high school football player was placed in ICU after suffering a traumatic brain injury during drills late this month, according to the KMTR news source.  Junior student Luis Rivera was reportedly participating in a Tuesday morning practice when he began to feel ill after a contact drill.  Upon standing up after the drill, Rivera told his coaches that his legs "didn't feel right," and he was taken to a local hospital for the treatment of a brain contusion.  Rivera was out of ICU and in fair condition at the time of the report, and he was beginning to regain feeling in his leg.
