Douglas was a full practice Friday and is playing. Bernard and Johnson are questionable. Johnson seems to think he should clear protocol and be good. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the 90's! I'm pretty certain at the end of the Giants Bills SB, Kelly got concussed. It forced the Bills to take a TO, likely if that hadn't happened they would have had another TO left towards end, likely could have ran a couple more plays, maybe got another 1st down and got closer for the FG 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 To those saying Taron is probably going to play, what makes you say that? Because he’s optimistic or have we heard something more substantial? seems like a 50/50 to me. Passing concussion protocol on a short week is a toss up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Purdy did it with one on Monday Night. Trevor Lawrence did it. Ty Johnson did it last week. The Bills played Monday Night and he was back on the practice field Wednesday afternoon. And obviously severe symptoms didn’t come back Thursday or Friday. Also, the initial contact was not intense. Not that it has to be, but it didn’t look obvious. Biggest thing I wondered was why was he shaking his hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing concussion protocol on a short week is a toss up Yeah, it seems a lot of people are bypassing optimism for blind optimism. I really hope he plays. And considering he was on the field every day this week says to me he cleared a lot of the stages of protocol fairly early. So that's a good sign. But the fact remains that 6 days in Concussion Protocol is an incredibly small window. There are examples of people doing it in a week. But less than a week? I don't know how anyone can be so sure that's definitely going to happen. I'm extremely hopeful. But I won't be remotely surprised if the league doesn't clear him, regardless of what he's been saying. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't remember my phone number when the trainer asked me. There was no treatment and I got to take the 10 hr bus ride home with the team. Yay for 90s high school football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all it takes is one concussion specialist for the League to say "I'm sorry, but 6 days isn't enough time" and all of that doesn't matter. Again, I'm very optimistic and i'm really, REALLY hopeful he gets cleared. But it's not a sure thing until it is and there's things at play that can supercede everything we've seen and heard.

Yes but that stuff is collectively bargained. Is the baseline test back to normal and are there no symptoms? I have no idea what constitutes the final test from the independent neurologist, but something like this has to be somewhat based on data correct?

Is the baseline test back to normal and are there no symptoms? I have no idea what constitutes the final test from the independent neurologist, but something like this has to be somewhat based on data correct? Neither do I. But it would be unwise to think that it's impossible that league PR isn't also in play. Clearing a guy of a head injury in less than a week and then he takes another head injury that causes damage and they'd come under fire for clearing him so quickly. Again, I'm all for optimism and I have my fingers crossed he's cleared. But it's coming down to a decision by a doctor within hours of kickoff - regarding clearing a guy of Concussion Protocol in less than a Week. So cautious optimism is as far as I'm willing to go.

We all know that doctors aren’t the same. Can’t give doctors the power to keep a guy off the field in a situation like this. What if KC has a doctor that doesn’t feel as strongly towards debatable concussions…??? (Can we offer him a contract..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
