The Philadelphia Eagles received a major scare this week when defensive tackle Mike Patterson suffered a seizure during practice due to a brain arteriovenous malformation–which is a tangle of blood vessels in the skill. On Friday, Peterson was released from the hospital and is expected to see a neurologist within the next few days, according to the Associated Press.
Since Wednesday’s incident, Patterson seems to have been doing well while recovering, but whether or not he’ll be able to return to the field soon is still unknown. Patterson will either need surgery or radiation treatment to fix the condition–so we’ll just have to wait and see how things go for Patterson over the next few days when he visits doctors.
