A day after being evaluated for a concussion, Saints owner Tom Benson is back in the game.

According to Mike Triplett of ESPN.com, Benson returned home from Atlanta, after being taken to a hospital to be checked out and monitored overnight.

Benson, who had knee surgery earlier this month, fell during the owners meetings, and doctors didn’t want him to fly Tuesday. A team spokesman said he was “doing great” on Wednesday.

Benson had tripped as he left the podium following his city’s pitch for Super Bowl LII, which might have been the first sign The Big Easy’s 10-for-10 streak of landing the game when it bid was in jeopardy.
