Browns linebacker Marcus Benard spoke with reporters in the locker room as usual Thursday. 20 minutes later, Benard reportedly collapsed out while sitting down. He fell off his chair before trainers attended to him, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. Benard never lost consciousness lying on the ground.
Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis tells PFT that Benard was taken to a local hospital for further testing. He is stable and alert.
It’s not clear exactly what happened, but we’ll follow up when we know more. Benard has 4.5 sacks this year and has been a key ingredient to an improving Browns defense.

Best of luck to Marcus Benard
I hope he gets better, right after Sunday’s game versus my Jets.
The article says he never lost consciousness. He did NOT pass out.
I meant to say the article in the PD about it says he “never lost consciousness.” He didn’t pass out.
The article doesn’t mention that he fell of the chair laughing at Braylon Edwards’ attempts at trash talking.
Seriously though hope everything is okay with Mr. Benard
sucks…i hope he is ok..bernards a beast, well need him against the jets this week.
this does suk….hope he,s ok…get well quick bro
Must have been a rough interview.
Someone told him they were trading to bring Brady Quinn back.
Probably from a staph infection.
Writers for major news web sites ought to be able to spell “ingredient.”
(Of course, I had to look it up to be sure…)

At least it was four years ago. Congratulations on successfully waking up from your coma.

Actually the last case was the end of 08, but based on your screen name, I can see how you computed that 10 – 8 = 4. Too bad your team can’t use your new math when keeping score, it might equate to a few more wins.
