Im all right. Everything is OK, the running back told reporters as the Ravens cleared out their lockers. The MRI and the CAT scan checked out good. I was scared, but I didnt know how serious it was. It was pretty intense. The play occurred in the fourth quarter of Pittsburghs 23-14 victory. McGahee had just caught a pass and taken two steps before being met by safety Ryan Clark, who drove his helmet into McGahees facemask. McGahees head snapped back, and he lost the ball as he dropped to the ground. I didnt even see him coming, McGahee said. Clark also collapsed, though it was immediately apparent that his injury wasnt serious. Players from both teams gathered around McGahee, who lay motionless before being taken away. I blacked out. I woke up when they were taking my facemask off, McGahee said. Hakeem Nicks Super Bowl Jersey. I opened my eyes and I was talking.

But he said he would be ready to go next season. He hadnt watched the replay of the hit by late Monday afternoon, but his memory of the aftermath was vivid. I felt like I was OK when I was on the ground, regained consciousness and starting moving, he said. But then they told me not to move, so I started to get a little worried. After we got inside they took X-rays and told me everything was OK. As a precaution, McGahee was taken to hospital for a CAT scan and MRI, then held overnight for observation. He was released early Monday morning and dropped by his home in Baltimore before attending a team meeting. Starting at tailback in place of the banged-up LeRon McClain, McGahee ran for 60 yards and two touchdowns. I just wanted to make a difference in the football game. This was my first AFC championship game, he said. ' ' '
