While it’s far from being cleared for any kind of football activity, there was good news for Jermichael Finley today.

According to Ed Werder of ESPN, Finley has been released from the hospital and has returned to his home in Green Bay, after suffering a spinal contusion Sunday.

Finley has already been ruled out for this week’s game, and there’s no official word on his status for the season, though there have been reports he could need surgery.

But after being strapped to a gurney and immobilized earlier this week, this is a promising sign for his recovery, whether that involves football or not.
