Tim Tebow out of hospital, 'doing fine'

LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who suffered a concussion in the Gators' 41-7 win over Kentucky, is out of the hospital and "doing fine," the school said Sunday.

Tebow was kept overnight at Kentucky Chandler Medical Center in Lexington, Ky., for precautionary reasons. The 2007 Heisman Trophy-winner was hurt as he was being sacked in the third quarter of the game Saturday, when his head struck the knee of teammate Marcus Gilbert.

Tebow was carted off the field and driven by ambulance to the medical center.

"Tim is doing fine this morning," Florida Coach Urban Meyer said Sunday. "His CT scans came back and indicated that Tim suffered a concussion. Our medical and athletic training staff will continue to monitor him to determine how much rest and recovery he needs."

Meyer said there would be updates during the week on Tebow's status.

Tebow ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 103 yards and a score before he left the game. Sophomore John Brantley replaced him at quarterback.

The Gators (4-0, 2-0 SEC) have next week off. Their next game is at LSU Oct. 10.
