"New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter is apparently recovering well after a frightening neck injury that left him laying on the field for more than 10 minutes in the first quarter Sunday before he was carted off on a stretcher.

The Saints reported that Porter checked out OK during neurological tests at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and that he was taken to a local hospital as a precautionary measure. Porter later tweeted, "This is why I love the #WhoDatNation. We are one big family. I'm doing good u guys, I look forward to being back soon. I love u guys.""
