Tennessee's Danny O'Brien to fly back with team following scary hit to the head

It appears Danny O'Brien may have a quicker recovery than most may have anticipated following a scary hit to the head during Saturday's game against Texas A&M.

Tennessee confirmed to Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated that O'Brien will be flying back with the team following the Volunteers' narrow defeat at the hands of the Aggies. O'Brien was taken off the field on a stabilizing board early in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game.

O'Brien was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons, but was said to be moving all of his extremities.

While O'Brien's long-term status is still uncertain, it is great to hear of any form of improvement this early following an injury of that severity.
