YoloinOhio Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 McDermott didn’t speak today so don’t know about protocol but I thought they couldn’t go 11-11 unless cleared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubs Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I’m optimistic for the start of the season. How long he lasts is another story, but that’s for another thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 https://www.playsmartplaysafe.com/focus-on-safety/protecting-players/nfl-return-to-participation-protocol/ " Step Five: Full Football Activity/Clearance After the player-patient has established his ability to participate in non-contact football activity including team meetings, conditioning and non-contact practice without recurrence of signs and symptoms and his neurocognitive testing is back to baseline, the team physician may clear him for full football activity involving contact. Once cleared by the team physician, the player-patient may participate in all aspects of practice. If the player-patient tolerates full participation practice and contact without signs or symptoms and the team physician concludes that the player-patient’s concussion has resolved, he may clear the player-patient to return to full participation. For the avoidance of doubt, if a player cannot participate in practice or full contact with other players due to the time of year and/or rules imposed by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, simulated contact activity will suffice to satisfy this step. Upon clearance by the team physician, the player must be examined by the INC assigned to his Club. The INC must be provided a copy of all relevant reports and tests, including the Sideline and Booth UNC reports, the Booth ATC Spotter report and team injury reports, and have access to video of the injury, where applicable, and the player-patient’s neurocognitive tests and interpretations. If the INC confirms the team physician’s conclusion that the player-patient’s concussion has resolved, the player-patient is considered cleared and may participate in his Club’s next game or practice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I'm not sure how protocol works, but it seems they have been very cautious with him. I was pretty sure he wouldn't see preseason action when this first happened, and that's what happened. I bet he has been fine for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think has been in a spot where he could be cleared for quite some time. It almost looks like they are intentionally not taking him out of the protocol. This seems like he is completely recovered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Put the Gazoo helmet pad on him for extra protection! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobot Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Timing for the injury could be a blessing. This forced some rotational experience and learning during preseason, so we'll be in better shape in the scenario that he goes down during the regular season.. Plus they were able to take extra precautions and not rush him back for a meaningful game to hopefully reduce the risk of re-injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Great to hear he was out there. In all seriousness though, one more wrong hit to the head and he's done. Let's hope it doesn't happen and he plays a full 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
