Jordan Hicks was released from the hospital on Tuesday and is in "good spirits," Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores said.
The linebacker and defensive captain underwent emergency surgery on his lower right leg to relieve pressure from compartment syndrome on Sunday.
On Tuesday morning, Hicks called surgery a "huge success" on social media. He posted a photo from a hospital bed with his right leg elevated and wrapped. Hicks suffered a shin bruise while tackling Saints running back Alvin Kamara during the first quarter of Sunday's win. He was transported to a local hospital afterward when swelling continued.
