Detroit Lions backup running back Craig Reynolds was shaken up in the first quarter of the preseason Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
The play happened on the Lions' second series of the game.
Quarterback Hendon Hooker lofted up a pass to Reynolds, who took a big hit from a Falcons defender, which drew a flag for unnecessary roughness. The flag was a bit controversial, though, as the hit appeared to be legal.
Here's the latest on Reynolds.
