Georgia freshman quarterback D’Wan Mathis was released from the hospital on Monday after undergoing emergency brain surgery last Thursday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
According to the AJC, Georgia's medical staff reportedly rushed Mathis to the emergency room when the quarterback was experiencing severe sinus pain. An MRI revealed that Mathis had been suffering from a potentially life-threatening brain cyst and fluid buildup outside the brain.
"One more day and it could have burst," Terence Mathis, D’Wan’s father, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday.
"I can’t tell you how thankful I am my son is at the University of Georgia," Terence added.
