Texas offensive lineman Patrick Hudson has been released from a hospital, a statement from the Texas Longhorns announced on Wednesday. However, when he returns to practice and to the field remains to be seen.
“Longhorn sophomore offensive lineman Patrick Hudson has been released from the hospital and will return to classes on Thursday,” the statement from Texas read. “As of now, no timetable has been set for a return to physical activity.”
Hudson was rushed to the hospital a week ago and placed in intensive care following what was described as a heat-related medical event. Hudson remained in the hospital as doctors continued to monitor and take care of the lineman. The cause of the medical scare was still being investigated as of just a few days ago, but news of his release from the hospital should be a positive step for him in recovery.
It should go without saying that Hudson’s health will continue to be observed and Texas will take every precaution necessary to ensure he is not back on a practice field until he is medically cleared to do so.
