According to ESPN.com, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow was released from a Kentucky hospital on Sunday morning after taking a hard hit to the head in the Gators’ 41-7 win over the Wildcats on Saturday.
Coach Urban Meyer said Tebow sustained a concussion when he was sacked by defensive end Taylor Wyndham in the third quarter of Saturday night’s 41-7 win. Tebow’s head struck teammate Marcus Gilbert’s leg, violently bending his neck forward.
“Tim is doing fine this morning,” Meyer said in a statement. “His CT scans came back and indicated that Tim suffered a concussion. Our medical and athletic training staff will continue to monitor him to determine how much rest and recovery he needs. We will have additional information and updates this week.”
It’s good that the Gators are off next week because some players rush back onto the field after receiving concussions, which is extremely dangerous. Hopefully Tebow won’t suffer any post-concussion symptoms and he can play in two weeks. (Although his health is the most important thing – not his playing status.)
Good to hear that he’s heading home after what has been a long week for Tebow (who was also suffering from the flu) and the Gators.
