According to the Brainerd Warrior Football Facebook page, Erickson underwent surgery in Fargo and continues to be hospitalized in the ICU where he needs more time to rest and heal.
Here is the link to the GoFundMe page:

Update: We are amazed by the support and love that Conner has gotten. We’ve updated our goal since our first was surpassed so quickly.
On Friday, September 9th Conner Erickson was taken by ambulance to Sanford Hospital where he underwent surgery for a head injury. Conner continues to be hospitalized in the ICU where he needs more time to rest and heal. He will continue to be monitored and cared for by the medical team at Sanford.
There is a long journey for Conner ahead with many medical bills and time off from work for his family. Nick and Trina would never ask for help, but we want to make sure that the financial burden of this accident is not something they have to worry about while they focus on Conner’s recovery. Our goal is $21,000 in honor of Conner’s football number, 21.
The family is so appreciative of the prayers and support.
