Buffalo Bills safety Aaron Williams was released from the hospital on Monday.
Williams was monitored overnight. He was taken off the field by an ambulance with a neck injury suffered during the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
Williams was injured while trying to make a diving tackle on Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman’s 22-yard touchdown reception.
Williams landed on his stomach before being turned over onto his back. He laid on the field for several minutes. He was immobilized and placed on a stretcher before being loaded into the ambulance.
The game was delayed more than 10 minutes and several Bills players huddled in prayer before returning to the field.
