WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Marquise Gaddy is making steady progress in his recovery from neck and spinal cord injuries suffered a week ago at practice at Winston-Salem State.
Gaddy, a freshman safety from Charlotte, has been in Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center since the Sept. 23 incident. His father, Juan, says his son will be moved to a rehabilitation center in uptown Charlotte.“He’s making real progress, and that’s what we are all excited about,” Juan Gaddy said Wednesday morning just before checking out of his hotel. “He’s going to go a rehab center in uptown Charlotte, and he’ll probably be there for three or four weeks.”
Marquise Gaddy suffered a broken neck and was knocked unconscious during a tackling drill, according to his father. He was first able to wiggle his toes and move his legs about 24 hours after being rushed to the hospital.
The progress since then has been steady, according to Juan Gaddy. Marquise started rehabilitation at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center last Thursday.
