Defensive end Osi Umenyiora rushed out of the locker room without talking to reporters following the Giants’ 41-27 win over the Browns.

He had good reason, as his son Tijani was taken to the hospital with what was thought to be an asthma attack.

Umenyiora later said “He is better. Thanks,” in an email to Mike Garafolo of USA Today.

The Giants later reported Umenyiora’s son had been released from a hospital.
