Trai Turner still in concussion protocol

[dpm0409]

Just an update from earlier today on TT.....We gotta have this man back.  We stand no chance with Amini "turnstile" Silatolu in there...

 

[therealmjl]

I don’t think he’d have been due back to the independent until Friday (that’s typically when clearance happens)

So basically there is no update

[Jimmy]

Lets go Trai, get better dude. Please!

The "Turnstile" torch has been officially passed from Byron Bell -> Mike Remmers -> Amini Silatolu

he’s the difference between winning and losing imo

Couldn't agree more

If he can't go we got a Oher part 2. A concussion shouldn't take that long. Not a good sign for the rest of his career.

Yea for sure just like when we had a Dan Morgan part 2 in Kuechly I remember

Come on man... Oher never even practiced after his concussion. Trai has already practiced in full 2 days straight. Not even close to Oher at all and doesn't say anything about his career longevity.

 

And honestly, he seems extremely extremely close. If there was ever a time to break a small rule and eat the fine it's now. Trai should play, fully cleared or not.

Dude really?

And practice isn't the same as a game, all it takes it one hit and he's not out of the protocol could cause serious damage. I mean it is what it is, it's a dangerous sport we all know about concussions and CTE

For Panthers and fan wise, maybe David Gettleman should have did better with oline depth than Amini

Why would they announce it before the Saturday deadline? No reason to give the Saints a confirmation before they have to.

Small fine? We would lose draft picks if we played a player that wasn't clear from the concussion protocol

This is why he hasn't been cleared yet.

 

I hope.

Because we demand answers

Can Moton really not play at RG?  Silatolu got abused by the Falcons and has not looked good this year. It's one thing to go with the vet over the rookie, but after watching film..... I really hope Moton gets some PT if Trai can't go.

I want Trai back and agree that he is a crucial cog in winning or losing.... but not at the cost of his longterm health. I want him back badly, but if he's still showing signs of brain trauma, hold off until '18.
