The Browns placed veteran receiver Marquise Goodwin on the non-football illness list Friday, and now we know why.
Blood clots in his lungs and legs will force Goodwin to miss the start of training camp, the team announced. Goodwin, who is entering his 10th season, began experiencing discomfort in his legs and complained of shortness of breath during organized team activities this spring.
A check-up revealed the clots.
“It was really alarming at first because I’ve experienced injury throughout my career, but it’s never been anything like this that could turn into something detrimental if it’s not taken care of,” Goodwin said, via Anthony Poisal of the team website. “It was frightening at first, but now I’m at ease with it. I’ve prayed and just given it over to God. It’s out of my control, and the only thing I can control is my effort and attitude and how I approach each day moving forward.”

There seems to be a lot of that “blood clots” illness going around. Especially in athletes. Maybe physicians should search for commonalities in their environments, diet, medications, etc. It’s almost like a cluster but it is spread out among a certain of similarly active type group rather than a certain geographic area.

Please google Deep Vein Thrombosis. The lungs are the most natural place for the clots to migrate to. Vascular injury (damage to veins) is a risk factor. But there are other factors too.
