BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — California receiver Trevor Davis has been released from the hospital after he was hurt on a kickoff return.
Davis was removed from the field on a stretcher in the fourth quarter Saturday against UCLA. The team says he was taken to the hospital for tests before being released around midnight Sunday.
“I’d like to thank everyone so much for all the prayers, and I’m blessed to say that I’m doing good and will be back soon,” Davis said on his Twitter account.
Davis stayed down on the turf for a long time after appearing to take a knee to the helmet as he was tackled Saturday. While the trainers were tending to him, Davis’ teammates kneeled on the field and the crowd chanted “Tre-vor Da-vis! Tre-vor Da-vis!”
Davis was able to move his legs and talk. He gave a thumbs up to the crowd as he was taken away on a cart.
Cal lost the game 36-34.
