In response to Thomas being released from the hospital, head coach Lane Kiffin tweeted in part, “Prayers answered so happy for DaMarcus and his family! Keep praying for his recovery.”

This is obviously outstanding news, and it’s the best kind of update that could have happened. It’s still not clear exactly what happened, but it’s great to hear that Thomas is coming home.
The college football world pretty much came to a grinding halt after word broke that he was hurt and wasn’t moving.
Kiffin said he called his son’s mom and told her he could care less if his son ever plays football again after seeing DaMarcus Thomas’ injury at practice this morning. Thomas unresponsive. Being airlifted to hospital staright from practice field. #OleMiss

Let’s hope Thomas takes as much time as necessary to make sure he’s back at 100% before stepping back on the field.
