After describing experiencing "a neck injury during a stunt thing," Woods, 76, said Foxx "went beyond" to ensure he did not get injured further during a fight sequence they filmed weeks later.

Last Friday, a source told PEOPLE that doctors were "doing more tests and want to be completely sure that he will be okay before allowing him to" leave the hospital. The source added that Foxx has been advised to "keep his stress level down" when he is eventually discharged.

The source told PEOPLE at the time that the hospital is "the last place Jamie wants to be" despite his need for medical care.

"He has a lot of projects going on," the insider said. "He gets things done; he is focused and astute. What happened to him medically is serious enough to keep him in the hospital."

Foxx's daughter Corinne Foxx originally issued a statement on Instagram April 12 revealing that her dad was on the mend after facing a "medical complication" the day prior. The actor had been filming a Netflix movie titled Back in Action with Cameron Diaz in the weeks prior to his hospitalization, though PEOPLE confirmed that his incident did not happen while he was on the film's set.
