Hilliard hospitalized with concussion
Coach Jon Gruden confirms what seemed likely: WR Ike Hilliard suffered a concussion when he absorbed a violent hit from Seahawks LB Leroy Hill in the second quarter.
Gruden said Hilliard would remain in the hospital for the night but is ultimately expected to be fine.
Hilliard appeared to lose consciousness immediately after the hit, according to teammates.
"You could see he was going out on the way down," QB Jeff Garcia said. "You never want to see that."
Said Gruden: "Obviously, we're very concerned about him, but all the preliminary reports are he's going to be okay."
