According to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Delpit was performing in individual drills when he went up for a pass and came down in pain. He was reportedly pounding his fists on the field while trainers looked after him. It was a no-contact play.
Delpit’s teammate Mack Wilson tweeted he was sorry to see the defensive back get carried out.
‘S—t hurting me @realgrantdelpit. I knew what you had on your mind for this year,” Wilson wrote.
