Cleveland Browns wide receiver Ryan Switzer said his infant son is back in the hospital and is undergoing a blood transfusion on Sunday.

Switzer posted the latest update about Christian via Twitter, saying the baby's hemoglobin dropped overnight and his blood count needs to rise so he's stable enough to undergo further testing.

We are back at the hospital after Christian had more significant bleeding this morning. We’re frustrated but more so just exhausted seeing our son suffer. We’re asking for prayers for the doctors as they work to find a diagnosis & strength for Christian as he battles.

Christian is currently undergoing another transfusion. His hemoglobin dropped too much overnight. He needs his count back up in order to be stable enough for scans today. We’re asking for prayers that the blood takes to him safely & for a diagnosis today.

Earlier this week, Switzer posted a video thanking everyone for their support after Christian was hospitalized and underwent surgery last week for bleeding. He said doctors still aren't sure what caused the bleeding.

The 26-year-old spent the 2020 season on Cleveland's practice squad and has also played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys.
