RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that wide receiver Cade Johnson is doing "much better" after he suffered a concussion Thursday night and was wheeled off the field on a stretcher before being taken to the hospital.
There are still no indications that Johnson suffered any injuries beyond a concussion, Carroll said.
Johnson, a third-year player vying to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster, suffered the concussion on a kickoff return about four minutes into the second quarter of the team's preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings. He briefly appeared unstable while getting up after the play, walked off the field on his own power and then was taken into the medical tent for evaluation.
