Just curious, obviously hoping the guy comes back and returns to All Pro form. But let’s be real here, these interior lineman maul each other, and it’s only a matter of when, not IF, he suffers another one. So, worse case scenario, hypothetically he’s deemed too much of a liability to put on the field, is there generally some injury settlement in extreme circumstances such as this, or would Buffalo be on the hook for the full guarantee? If he doesn’t get the full guarantee for a career ending injury that occurs in a team activity, when exactly do you think he would? If cleared by docs and still hangs them up it’s different but in the unlikely situation that he never passes the tests of course we are on the hook. 6 minutes ago, Doc said: He's in stage 4. They're just giving him all the time they can to recuperate. I don’t think independent doctors get to judge that it’s preseason and not the playoffs. If he passes the tests they can gladly not play him for a few more weeks but the doctors should not and hopefully are not gaming their diagnosis based on it being camp.

"They" is any from among Morse, McD, Beane, the trainers and team doctor(s). I have no doubt he'll play opening day. How long he stays concussion-free after that... 3 minutes ago, NoSaint said: I don’t think independent doctors get to judge that it’s preseason and not the playoffs.

The more time they give him the better. I'd rather save him for the regular season, even if it means some hiccups when he plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any abrupt cessation of the direction his head happens to be moving in at the time could do it. A jolt to the shoulder pads while he’s leading a sweep, for instance. Or a whiplash action of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
