The Baltimore Ravens' charter flight made an emergency landing at Pittsburgh International Airport this morning to rush a player to a local hospital.
Backup cornerback Corey Ivy suffered a kidney tear during a hit in a loss to the Broncos in Denver during "Monday Night Football," according to team spokesman Chad Steele.
"He went back and played, but started to have symptoms on the trip home," Steele said.
Ivy, 28, was removed from the Delta flight about 20 minutes after the unscheduled, 4:04 a.m. landing, and taken to UPMC Presbyterian hospital in Oakland, said airport spokeswoman JoAnn Jenny.
Steele said he had not gotten any word on Ivy's condition.
"Team physician Andy Tucker is with him and we hope to know more information later today," Steele said.
The rest of the team continued on to Baltimore.
Ivy, an eighth-year player out of Oklahoma, was signed by the Ravens as a backup in March after spending time on the practice squads of several teams and starting several games for the St. Louis Rams last year.
He recorded one tackle during last night's 13-3 loss to the Broncos.

I thought this was going to be the setup for a punchline...wow.
Hope he's ok. UPMC Pres. is a very good hospital.

Is it "normal" to have these internal injuries that aren't getting "caught" until they become possibly life-threatening?
Not trying to sensationalize this. Just seems odd that we are either hearing more about them now -- or they are happening more often.
Is it guys just being tough about getting hurt? I guess it could also be that the speed of the game is ever-increasing and more damage is caused, etc. Or, it could have happened alot and just never got the headlines.

I think I remember the hit - it was on a punt return, making a tackle. Another teammate hit him as he was hitting the ground. The force of the ground and the teammate hitting him was pretty strong. he laid on the ground, near the Denver sideline and ESPN went to commercial. Nothing was mentioned, except he got up under his own power. I didn't even realize he went back into the game later on.pgreenfan said:
I attended an MRI seminar at UPMC several years ago. It seemed like a top notch medical facility. On behalf of all Broncos fans I would like to wish the best medical care and speedy recovery for Corey Ivy.nightshift said:Here's wishin' him well. He's in good hands at Presby.
