Though the news remains optimistic for Packers safety Nick Collins, he didn’t join his teammates for the trip home from Charlotte.

Said the Packers in a statement issued earlier tonight: “Nick Collins has normal feeling and complete movement in his extremities. As is standard protocol, he will be kept in the hospital overnight for observation. When he returns to Green Bay, he will undergo further testing and evaluation.”

Collins suffered an apparent head/neck injury during Sunday’s win over the Panthers. He was taken immediately to a local hospital.
