Jaguars' Kelvin Beachum Is 'Doing Better' After Concussion

Good news from Jaguars O-lineman Kelvin Beachum's father ... who tells TMZ Sports his son is expected to be released from the hospital soon after sustaining a concussion against the Chargers.

During the 3rd quarter, Beachum was kicked in the head by an opposing player and laid motionless on the ground for several minutes before getting carted off the field.

We spoke to Kelvin Beachum Sr., who talked to Kelvin this morning and says "he's doing much better."

"It was pretty scary seeing your son laying on the field for a long period of time," Kelvin Sr. says. "They're still running tests on him right now. They'll keep him for the rest of the day and then he'll be able to go home."
