AIKEN, S.C. — William "The Refrigerator" Perry has been released from the hospital after a monthlong stay for complications of a nervous system disorder.

Aiken Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Melissa Summer said the former Chicago Bears star was released on Wednesday after being treated for Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Summer had no details about Perry's condition other than that doctors considered the 46-year-old improved enough to go home.

A call to Perry's agent, Adam Plotkin, was not immediately returned. A phone at the home of Perry's nephew, Purnell Perry, went unanswered.

Perry was a 300-pound plus defensive tackle for the Bears' and scored a TD in the team's win over New England in the 1986 Super Bowl.
