Auburn Tigers running back Brian Battie was released from the hospital but still has a ways to go in recovery. Freeze gave an update on Battie’s progress.
and Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze gave a further update on the progress of his recovery during the SEC head coaches teleconference on Wednesday.
“We FaceTime at least once a week, typically, or at least me with his mom if he’s not up to it,” Freeze said. “Today was my first time in person. We had two others scheduled and both times the weather wouldn’t let us fly. Today was the first time and I got to spend the entire morning with him up until his therapy began with him, his mother, his father and his sister and it was really good to see him.
“He’s in a battle,” Freeze said. “Obviously the battle now is just the recovery part and the rehab part and his brain starting to work back properly. Walking is still now a challenge for him but he’s got a great spirit about him. He wants to get up to Auburn for a game and it was really good to spend some time with him.”
