At least three Oregon football players have reportedly been hospitalized following a series of intense workouts.
The Oregonian reported (http://bit.ly/2iCfSGt ) late Monday that the players remain hospitalized after being taken there late last week.
The school didn’t immediately identify the players who were hospitalized. It says in a statement to the newspaper that it will continue to monitor and support the players as they recover. The university says it has « implemented modifications as we transition back into full training to prevent further occurrences. »
The newspaper reports that the mother of one of the players says her son has been diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a condition that occurs when muscle tissue breaks down and leaks into the blood stream. The condition can cause kidney damage.
