Bears' Hardin released from hospital

Bears rookie safety Brandon Hardin was released from a local hospital Sunday and all major tests performed on him came back clear after he was carted off the field because of a neck injury during the third quarter Saturday night at Soldier Field.
Hardin does not have any paralysis issues and he did not lose consciousness after he was injured tackling Redskins tight end Logan Paulsen and dropped his head making the play.
But it is too soon to determine when the third-round draft pick from Oregon State will be available again. According to a source familiar with the situation, Hardin will undergo further tests in two weeks to see when he can be on the field again. The Bears open their season Sept. 8.
Hardin is not in danger of being released but final cuts for the 53-man roster are due Aug. 31 and if the next tests aren’t favorable for a return in the near future, a trip to injured reserve would not be out of the question.
“Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers,” Hardin wrote on his Twitter account. “I can't give an exact update, but the good news is that I'm gonna be ok. And we won!”
Later, Hardin posted a photo of his tackle of Paulsen and pointed out he needed to be “a few inches to the right.”
Starting free safety Chris Conte was also lost to a right shoulder injury and left Soldier Field with his right arm in a sling. But coach Lovie Smith downplayed the injury and right now it is not expected to be serious.

Yeah, I just can't believe we're going through this safety crap already. Seems when we draft a safety the guy ends up on IR his rookie year at some point (Wright did in 2010)Originally Posted by X-Factor
Glad to see he's alright. Gotta keep his head up though.
More concerned with Conte, as he will play more.
What is the new on Conte??
vaughn mcclure @vxmcclure23 No timetable for returns of Conte (shoulder), Hardin (neck.), or Podlesh (hip). Matt Spaeth (undisclosed) didn't practice.
Hopefully they are just being over cautious with Conte because it is the preseason, didn't look to bad to me.
I was glad to here they released Hardin from the hospital.
Same here. Seems that way with several guys..But we'll see.
Y r they waiting two weeks to give Hardin his MRI? do u think he will play at all this year?
Conte had a slight seperation I think, (I can just post a link here right?) They have signed Mark LeGere already as cover and right now seem to be pushing Anthony Walters alongside Steltz and Wright. Can't say I am enamoured with the safety position without Conte back there, fingers crossed come september the 9th he is fit and ready to go.
The tallest blade of grass is the surest to be cut.
I personally didnt think Hardin's form on that specifice play was that bad, he still squared up and was going to wrap up, he just didnt keep his head up thats all.
