Bears safety Douglas Coleman III was released from a Kansas City-area hospital and flew home to Chicago on Friday morning, coach Matt Eberflus said.

Eberflus told WSCR-AM on Friday that Coleman was “walking around” and in good spirits Friday.

Coleman was put on a backboard and then a stretcher during Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Chiefs after hitting wide receiver Cornell Powell when he caught a nine-yard pass on the first play of the third quarter.

He was transferred to a Kansas City Fire Department cart and taken off the Arrowhead Stadium field.
