The season opener for the Cleveland Rams Saturday was more than a game, it was also a fresh start for the team and the man whose life they saved weeks earlier.
On April 20, the Rams were practicing at Roye Kidd Field in southeast Cleveland when they spotted Clay’s house catch fire nearby. The team owner called 911 while a group of players scaled the 18-foot fence separating the field from the house when they saw Clay pass out in the entryway.
The 59-year-old spent several days in the hospital recovering from smoke inhalation. Most of the home, which his parents bought in 1970, was damaged by fire, smoke and water.The Cleveland Rams stayed in touch with Clay, inviting him to the team’s opening game on Saturday. The 2022 season was uncertain for the Rams until recently. Due to a scheduling conflict, they were told the field they’d used for six years would no longer be available for games and practices.
