Las Vegas Raiders offensive lineman Trent Brown was hospitalized prior to Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns and will remain there overnight for further tests.

The NFL Network reported that there was “a mishap with his pre-game IV that caused air to enter his bloodstream and required immediate medical attention.” Brown, who tested positive for COVID-19 less than two weeks ago, practiced on Friday and was expected to play on Sunday.

Quarterback Derek Carr tossed a 4-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Hunter Renfrow early in the fourth quarter, and kicker Daniel Carlson booted three field goals in nasty conditions and the Raiders controlled the clock in a 16-6 win over Cleveland.
