CLEVELAND -- Browns wide receiver Ryan Switzer said his 9-month-old son, Christian, is home from the hospital after undergoing surgery to stop bleeding.
Switzer posted a short video and message Wednesday on Twitter showing his son playing with toys on the floor following his health scare. He said Christian was discharged Tuesday evening.
Mr. man was discharged from the hospital yesterday evening. We didn't get any clear answers on why what happened, happened but, to see him sleep through the night with no bleeding and wake up in a playful mood this morning means our prayers are being answered. Thank you all. 💙🙏 pic.twitter.com/ycLPwCiLeS

Switzer had asked for prayers and provided updates about his son over the weekend. He said the family didn't get any "clear answers" about why his son woke up in his own blood and then had additional bleeding spells. Christian, who had tested positive for COVID-19, had surgery Sunday.
"To see him sleep through the night with no bleeding and wake up in a playful mood this morning means our prayers are being answered," Switzer wrote. "Thank you all."
Switzer, 26, spent last season on Cleveland's practice squad. He was drafted by Dallas in 2017 and spent two years with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
