Smith said he was “doing well” and that he left the game as a safety measure, per ESPN, which added that McPhearson hurt his right leg while breaking a pass.

"Your heart goes out to them first and foremost, and you just think about your teammate," Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota said, per the outlet. "We play a game and it's a blessing to play a game, but when these situations get like that, it is scary."
