BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -California star tailback Jahvid Best came out for the opening coin toss a week after being knocked out following a frightening fall and concussion.
Best was wearing sweat pants and his No. 4 jersey for the coin toss before Saturday’s game against No. 18 Arizona. Best got hugs from the Wildcats players a warm ovation from the crowd, which was silenced last week after he fell on his back and head from about 8 feet in the air. Best’s helmet came off on impact and he briefly lost consciousness, dealing a chilling scare.
Best was hospitalized overnight for the concussion and spent much of the week at home. He says the support he received the past week was “amazing.”
The team has not said when he could return to play again.
