Great photo of Ole Miss tight end DaMarcus Thomas -- who was back on campus and SMILING one day after being discharged from the hospital.
The 18-year-old freshman football player had suffered a frightening injury during Monday practice -- with coach Lane Kiffin saying the player initially couldn't move and lost all feeling in his body.
Thomas was airlifted to a nearby hospital for treatment -- and fortunately, Thomas began to regain feeling and movement.
University officials later told the media Thomas was on the mend and they were hopeful he would make a full recovery.
Fast-forward to Wednesday morning ... when Thomas was back at the Ole Miss training facility -- smiling with Katie Bason, director of player development (and another woman).
Worth noting ... Thomas appears to be sitting up without assistance, an unbelievable sight considering he's just 2 days out from the injury.
Congrats to Thomas -- and props to all the medical personnel who jumped into action to help.

Really incredible and thankfully just a scary incident that did not result in paralysis.
Have to say I've never seen so much genuine concern and well wishes from the entirety of SEC. Good on everybody.

Has anyone seen a precise description of the
injury Thomas received ? A stinger is
typically an upper body nerve pinch injury
but Thomas is described as having
no feeling in upper and lower body---at least for
awhile. A nerve shock to the entire body ?

I am glad that he seems to be making a a full recovery. I still remember watching the UGA game where Devon Gales was paralyzed, I never want to have to sit there and watch anyone go through that again.

I haven't seen any description of the injury that occurred. It sounds like his body just went into shock. I don't think I've seen any description of the event that caused it either?

I have to say though if I was that young man I'd have to put a lot of thought into whether or not I was going to play football again thinking about the bullet I just dodged.
