Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Brett Perriman was hospitalized Tuesday with an undisclosed issue.
Perriman, the father of Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman, was taken to a Miami-area hospital Tuesday night.
The Ravens wide receiver appeared to be optimistic about his father's recovery Wednesday.
Perriman helped Miami win a national championship in 1987 and recorded 1,000-plus-yard seasons in 1995 and '96 with the Lions.
