Miami Dolphins confirm Daewood Davis has been released from hospital after being whisked away in the NFL preseason Finals following a collision that left him motionless
Daewood Davis has been released from the hospital after being taken off the field and rushed to hospital following a collision with Jaguars linebacker Dequan Jackson on Saturday night.
The Dolphins released a statement via social media on Sunday morning revealing the positive update.
“Dolphins WR Daewood Davis has been released from the hospital. He will travel to Miami with team personnel today.”
With 8:32 left in the preseason game at Jacksonville’s TIAA Bank Field, play was suspended after Davis went down from the collision with Jackson and was left motionless on the field.
The 24-year-old was then attended to by medical staff from both teams before being immobilized on a backboard and taken away.

The Dolphins confirmed after the game that Davis was conscious after being taken to Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville for further examination.
As a result of Davis’s situation, the preseason Finals was suspended – an increasingly common occurrence in the NFL.
Green Bay and New England chose to set the precedent for the season after the Pats’ rookie corner Isaiah Bolden was carried off in the fourth quarter. Incidentally, he was also acquitted the next day.
Davis was signed by the Dolphins as a non-drafted free agent from Western Kentucky.
The 24-year-old is listed as the Dolphins’ 11th wideout on their depth chart. He is unlikely to make the final 53-man roster.
