Cougars tight end Patrick Overmyer says he's back to normal now, but said "something wasn't right" after he took a hard hit in UH's loss at Utah.
University of Houston tight end Patrick Overmyer revealed he felt off after taking a hard hit in the Cougars' loss against Utah. (Charlie Riedel/Associated Press) Overmyer was injured on the opening play of the game and did not return to action. The defensive back, Elijah Davis, tackled him, causing Overmyer to strike the back of his helmet on the ground.
He initially did not want to report any injury but after he attempted to get up, he experienced a loss of coordination in his legs and a spinning sensation in his head. Overmyer, who is the team's leading touchdown receiver with seven catches, missed the following week and returned to practice on Monday. The No. 17 Cougars are set to face Cincinnati in their next game on Saturday. Overmyer expressed that the week off has allowed him to feel completely back to normal.
