As Trent Green lay motionless on the turf at Arrowhead Stadium, more than 77,000 fans sat motionless in their seats.

His feet were not moving, nor were his hands. It was tough to tell if the popular Chiefs quarterback, who for five years had been so indestructible, was even breathing.

From the moment Cincinnati's Robert Geathers unleashed a brutal hit until word came that Green had regained consciousness, little was said at the Bengals-Chiefs game Sunday.

Chiefs General Manager Carl Peterson said Green had "pretty severe head trauma," but regained all his senses and feeling in his arms and legs.

"Actually," Peterson said after the 23-10 Bengals victory, "when he did wake up, he remembered every play except the one that knocked him out."

Peterson said Green was taken to a hospital but preliminary X-rays on his head and neck came back negative.

Man glad he is ok. You hate to see players knocked out of games.

That was one hell of a hit. His head bounced off the ground. I would still be laying there.

Carl Peterson described Trent Green’s injury as “a very severe concussion,” and said he had no reason to think it would be career-ending. He reiterated that the Chiefs had no plans to bring in another quarterback and that they hoped they’d get Green back shortly after the bye week.
