Watt also contributed to the cause, donating $10,000.<\/p>\n “These donations will also go a long way to help cover some of the treatment costs that are not covered by insurance,” the GoFundMe update also said.<\/p>\n “That has greatly helped Bryan to not have to focus on those, and now he can relax and recuperate.”<\/p>\n![\"Philadelphia](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/50-philadelphia-eagles-tackles-rex-1007349082_734fe9.jpg\")
