So he got all the necessary X-Rays and tests and is back on his feet. 

No, he’ll have an outpatient MRI tomorrow or the next day.

Always appreciate the actual medical insight you offer.

That makes sense, but I tend to consider concussions to be serious injuries and it seemed likely that was at minimum what happened. Great news overall given how it looked!

They changed the report from concussion to a neck injury. It looked potentially catastrophic the way he came down on his head like that, could have paralyzed him. But he was moving immediately so that was a good sign. Could still have had a bad injury to his neck though. Hope he’s ok, he’s been REALLY improving lately.

Ahhh I somehow missed it was changed from a concussion, I thought they were evaluating a neck injury. Thanks for the clarification!

He's definitely been improving

Bro... if that happened to me now, I would relieve myself on the field and cry like a baby.

Please show compassion and stop the sick joke.  As much as they are well paid to entertain us the are human like us. They are brothers fathers husband sons. It’s sick some of us have to be reminded. 

Not to mention he is showing signs that he COULD be the franchise's next Greg Olson. We should all hope he is fine.

Depends on the concussion. I remember retired UFC fighter TJ Grant won a title eliminator fight and suffered a concussion in training preparing for his title shot. He was never able to come back from it. No big deal, right? We'll just push the fight back a few months. Nope. Forced him into retirement. He never lost a fight by KO/TKO.

I meant in the general context of neuro trauma. I’ve never seen an adult admitted for just a concussion.

And yeah Michael Oher, numerous other CTE occasions. I dunno if one bad one is worse than multiple mild ones but to say it's not serious is ridiculous. I got a mild one with whiplash in a car wreck and walked away fine but couldn't remember to grab my wallet or keys for at least a week.
