Fans of popular character actor Norman Reedus got some bad news yesterday (March 15) when they found out Reedus suffered an injury on the set of hit show The Walking Dead.
Now we’re getting some more specific information about what actually happened, courtesy of TMZ. Reedus suffered a concussion on Friday (March 11), and it’s not known whether the injury happened while the show was filming or not. We also don’t know how severe the injury was.
