The actor noted the “brain fog” he’s dealt with, but explained that he is in “recovery” and “was very excited to watch” the show’s second episode of Season 2 “at home” with his family.

On Monday, Jan. 2, Renner was involved in a snowplow accident at his Nevada home. According to reports, a weather-related incident reportedly caused the actor severe injuries that resulted in massive blood loss. A neighbor who works in the medical field was able to provide immediate help until first responders were on the scene. Renner had to be transported to a hospital by helicopter. Once there, he was taken into emergency surgery.
