Luke officially out with concussion as reason

So 3 is the magic number? 

Three is enough to make it scary. 

The ultimate decision on all of this can only be left up to Luke and his doctors, of course. But yeah, the phrase "third concussion" is enough to make anybody stop and say "whoa"

I’m the one that said we would beat the Patriots. One of the only ones actually. Just like I didn’t think the Patriots were that good, I don’t think the Bears are that bad. We should win this game, but it’s not a gimme even at full strength.

The problem is there is no science to support that. Ask my mom and she'll tell you one is enough gh to be scary. We should stop trying to make decisions for Luke based on our own frame of references

Allegedly, it is in marriage. Still working on number two, so I wouldn't know.

See I heard zero was. It's all misleading

I've explained this multiple times in numerous threads. For the last time, I hope, there is zero credible evidence that he didn't have a concussion. There is substantial evidence that he could have had one. There is a plethora of evidence that a concussion could not be ruled out (critical viewpoint in medical diagnosis). It is irrefutable that he is in the CONCUSSION protocol. End of the fuggin story, except it's not, and no one, at this point knows how it will play, or won't play, out.

Except the credible evidence was from the Panthers medical staff and coaches that he didn't have a concussion...if sideline and stadium medical teams aren't credible then the NFL needs to revise its policy

I’ve noticed Shaq plays better when he is playing TDs role, I wonder if we could just have TD be  Keek and Shaq be TD haha.

I would be happier with this than with Mayo taking Luke's role.  Mayo is a great ST player but not a backup LB.  He is no where near AJ in terms of talent, and AJ is no where near Luke. It's a much larger drop off than in years past.

Granted, it's nearly a certainty at this point he had a concussion.  But honestly, since he's still in the protocol what other reason would they list him out for? 

Either way, seems obvious that if this is in fact his third concussion, it is less severe than the previous two known concussions. 

Because it's less severe, I wonder if that neck brace pressing on his jugular worked.

We never heard a peep from medical staff, nor should we. As for the coaches and their public statements on player condition, credible cannot be used in a sentence unless a "not" precedes it.

PS...Luke, more likely than not, had a concussion, as defined by the protocol.

I haven't seen this. Where did you get that info brother?

[JPPT1974]

Hate that for him. As hope he can rest. Be back for the next game.

[csx]

I'm sure the majority of the league has had 3 concussions.

It's certainly not good though.

i think so, especially if coleman comes back. having a top tier box safety against a team that's gonna try desperately to run the ball is going to be crucial.
