Nothing beyond the obvious. Try to catch it (so it doesn't hit the floor and possibly bend the roller cage); and now would be a good time to repack. Inspect for any damage or signs of wear; IMO even a 'matte' appearance on the rollers or race is reason enough to replace both of them.
If the felt seal falls off, you'll probably want to replace it. In that case, I suggest setting the bearing clearance and marking the nut position before installing the seal. The new seals are frequently thick enough to make it difficult to check the clearance once they are installed (but will compress in service).
