Both players were taken to hospital Thursday night after receiving shots to the head/neck area. Williams was injured early in the first quarter, while Maddox went down in late in the fourth.
The Eagles announced Friday that Maddox was diagnosed with a concussion and a neck injury. He was quickly discharged from a local hospital in time to fly back to Philadelphia with the rest of his teammates.
Everything is going well. Appreciate the prayers and get well wishes. God is good. 🙏🏽
