Less than 48 hours after his on field seizure, Omar Holness was out of the hospital and back in the locker room at Rio Tinto Stadium. He released a statement Monday on how grateful he was for everyone and said this about his debut, "Obviously, my debut never turned out the way I hoped, but I'm just grateful to be alive and I thank God for that fact.”
Which is really all that matters. To ensure that it was a one-time incident, RSL doctors are still following up on Holness. Chris Kamrani from The Salt Lake Tribune spoke with team physician Dr. Andrew Cooper about the reason for the traumatic event.
So far there are several possible causes but nothing is confirmed. Holness will see a neurologist and undergo some tests to hopefully give him some clarity over the incident.
