The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that Erving was immobilized on a stretcher in the locker room before being hurried into an ambulance. Trainers attended to him, and he walked to the bench. He is in stable condition and is undergoing further testing at University Hospitals.
Greco, who is in his ninth National Football League season, last started a game at center in 2014.
