Utah State Head Coach Gary Andersen Suffered Neck Injury Monday
Utah State University football head coach Gary Andersen suffered a neck injury at his home Monday morning [Sept. 27, 2010] and is recovering.
“Gary is a very fit and well conditioned individual with a low resting heart rate and low resting blood pressure,” said USU team physician Dr. Trek Lyons. “He simply got up too quickly and fell, injuring his neck which, from the wear and tear on his neck from his football days, made it a more worrisome injury. His prognosis is good, and he will be fine.”
Andersen was released from Logan Regional Hospital Emergency Room late Monday morning and spent the afternoon resting at his home,before making an appearance at the Aggies’ practice. According to Dr. Lyons, Andersen will be in a neck brace as a precaution.
Andersen intends on resuming full coaching activities and be with his team for USU’s game against BYU Friday, Oct. 1, at 6 p.m.
