ATLANTA — A college football player from Atlanta who was injured in a game last month continues to make vast improvements in his recovery.
Tennessee State linebacker Christion Abercrombie, who collapsed on the sideline against Vanderbilt, was able to move his hand and whisper a few words, according to his mother Staci Abercrombie.
God is working a miracle right in this moment. Christion is able to wave his hand, tell time, mumble names and the word yes. (when asked)he also gave a hug. It started when his dad heard something, and said “Can you talk”, he whispered YES! Blessings on Blessings🙏❗️
