Cal safety Avery Sebastian seriously injured

You always hate to hear about something like this. Here's to hoping he's OK.

A scary moment today at Cal's scrimmage - while rushing in at full speed to tackle running back Jeffrey Coprich, safety Avery Sebastian seriously injured himself, and laid on the field motionless for close to 20 minutes. An ambulance had to be called for him, which just left the field at the time of this post. Coach Dykes called an end the team to the north end zone for a meeting, and then ended practice early.

Scary. Sounded like some movement, but never like hearing about those. All the best for the players recovery.

Yikes. Hope he's ok.

Hope for a quick and full recovery for the kid.

Never want to see someone get hurt. That said I have been around the game long enough that I have come to accept knees, ankles, shoulders, etc.

It goes to a whole different level when you are talking about head and neck injuries. The other stuff can leave you gimpy and hurt but a lot of guys live pretty normal lives with them. The head and neck injuries can change someones life forever.

Hope for the best for him and that others don't have to go through this as well.

Thoughts and prayers to him for a speedy recovery.

Sounds like things are not dire -- scary when everyone goes quiet for a while.

The school released a statement Monday night saying Sebastian is resting at Highland General Hospital in Oakland and is expected to be released soon.
