Norman Reedus has gotten a concussion while on the set of his long-running AMC series The Walking Dead.

The 53-year-old actor suffered a head injury in an incident on March 11 in Georgia, Deadline reported on Wednesday.

Although his injury occurred on set, it’s not yet known if he was filming at the time of the incident.

‘Norman suffered a concussion on set,’ his spokesperson Jeffrey Chassen said Wednesday morning. ‘He is recovering well and will return to work soon. Thank you to everyone for their concern.’

Reedus and his costars have been filming the eleventh and final season of The Walking Dead, but AMC has reportedly pushed back the wrap date for the series to accommodate his time off to recover.

A Fandemic Tour social post first broke the news of his injury.

‘Norman Reedus had to postpone due to an accident while filming,’ it read.

Deadline notes that Reedus had ben scheduled to make an appearance at the Fandemic Dead touring convention during its stop in Atlanta from March 18–20, but the event’s website now lists him among its cancellations.

He would have been joined by his Walking Dead costars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Melissa McBride, Seth Gilliam and Cailey Fleming, along with former stars David Morrissey and Sarah Wayne Callies.

Jenna Elfman, of The Walking Dead’s spinoff series Fear The Walking Dead will also be in attendance, as will Reedus’ former costar Sean Patrick Flannery, who starred opposite him in The Boondock Saints, a bloody action film that served as his breakout role.
