Any news on concussed players?

I won't be angry with the coaches for bringing them back to play since we are still viable,if we weren't and they were to rush them back just to improve the record I'd be against it. I care less about the record after you are eliminated,then for me protecting players from FURTHER injury and threatening careers becomes the primary concern.

I adhere to the position though that MSHSAA does a better job of policing the dangerous premature return for concussed players ,to a sport that IMO carries lower risk.The NFL needs to make it a week without symptoms.

Yeah Thor - I'd be pissed if they were bringing them back just so the record would look better. But we ARE still playing for something and they are a big part of it. I think this is also valuable experience for Tru and Zac. All that being said, if these guys are in danger by coming back, I would rather sit them.

Yeah ,I mean the human aspects aside ,these guys are assets and bringing them back too early with no compelling reason ( like a playoff possibility) is like running an under inflated tire on a car so you can get wherever you are going the few minutes faster because you don't want to stop,even though all your going to do is sit around doin' nuthin once you get there.

Then again I saw some players who were IMO shall we say "surrendering" to injuries yesterday for the Raiders once they knew the game was out of reach, NOW THAT pisses me off the other way.

Funny. Raiders surrendering rarely pisses me off.:nau:

I will start by saying I absolutely do not want to see anyone hurt or do I want to risk unnecessarily any further injury to any of the concussed players. That being said I would love to see us win as many games down the stretch as possible I believe that we need that to instill belief and confidence along with a winning attitude even at the risk of losing a top pick. I don't even care if we were already mathematically eliminated from post season play. This team needs a winning attitude and the confidence that it creates. The belief in each other and the team as a whole is a very valuable asset that I would love for us to have.

Just saw a update post on FB that all 3 passed their protocol tests and are cleared to play on Sunday
