LINCOLN, Neb. — Matthew Donovan, the injured Mayville State quarterback who has been in a coma for nearly five weeks since an on-field collision, was able to move his left arm this week and was moving his fingers on Friday. In a daily update from his father, Terry, Matthew's movements were small and his responses are still inconsistent. "But they are progress," Terry Donovan wrote on Facebook. "We continue to see little improvements in Matt. Yesterday, when I was there, he moved his left arm a little on his own for the first time. Today, he was lifting it and moving his fingers. He s also been tracking with his eyes toward his left. Just yesterday was the first time we had seen him look left past the midline," his father wrote. On Monday, Matthew Donovan was transferred from Sanford Medical Center in Fargo to Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals in Lincoln, Nebraska. He had spent four weeks in Fargo after being Life Flighted from Mayville following a helmet-to-helmet hit dur
