The New York Giants experienced a scary moment during Wednesday's practice when tight end Tommy Sweeney collapsed halfway through the session.

Doctors and coaches came over to check on the Giants tight end, before he was eventually carted off the practice field. The Giants later said the 28-year-old was in "stable" condition. 

Team officials characterized the incident as a "medical event," saying Sweeney was "under the care of medical professionals in the Giants athletic training room."
