We've really lucked out in favorable opponents when Cam and Luke have been out. About to go 5-0 today since 2012 when either Cam or Luke have missed an entire half.

Expected but sucks. 

[Mr. Scot]

Expected but sucks. 

Probably pretty close to what everybody's thinking.

[Dex]

[WilmyWood]

Fine. Let him heal. 

[Frank Hollywood]

Disappointing. Hope he comes back healthy next week. I'm sure he'll be back for Seattle, when we really need him.

[frash.exe]

All because of one ill advised hit

[TheRumGone]

I'm thinking we don't see Luke until seattle

[Cammmmm]

Hes saving his self for the Tampa game when I'm there.

Hmmm it doesn't say exactly the reason though...is it because he cannot pass a concussion test or because we want to hold him down as a "just in case" type of measure.

It did look like one of the worst types of concussions that could happen...does anyone know how long players are usually out when they get a concussion? I usually see it's only like a week but that is probably for a minor concussion....I don't think Luke has a history of concussions so it probably is best to let him heal 100% and then more just to be safe...this is something no one wants to reoccur.

AJ got this

I saw somewhere earlier this week that 3 weeks is normal. I'm fine with him coming back for Seattle in week 5 as is most of this board it seems.

He wont be back till Seattle, makes the most sense.
