Seahawks receiver Cade Johnson has been released from the hospital, the team announced Friday. He remains in the concussion protocol.
Johnson was taken to Harborview Medical Center at halftime of Thursday night's game as a precaution due to head and neck injuries suffered on a second-quarter kick return. After the game Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said the initial reports were positive.
"The first thing that we heard was that it was no findings," Carroll said. "I think he got concussed, but there were no findings beyond that at this point, so we got a real good report, the early one, I'm hoping that's conclusive, but that's what we heard… They just went to the max precautions, and the findings were already really positive."
Following his release from the hospital, Johnson shared his gratitude for fans' support on social media.
