Fox says Moore has concussion

[Japhy Ryder]

And to follow up on my first comment, this is from an article on catcrave:

"health is still in question. Pass protection was very poor today. Very poor. Besides all the sacks and forced fumbles, 10 Quarterback hits were recorded. In an earlier conversation today, Dkes from carolinagrowl told me he felt like Moore may have had a concussion before he was taken out. That does raise a good question, “Was Matt Moore literally knocked silly?” by the time he got around to his last two interceptions? Who knows? He did manage to get the ball to the end-zone?"

I just hope the guy is OK. No one deserves that kind of punishment to the brain... That's all that matters for now.

Hopefully more info will be out tomorrow or tuesday. Japhy if what you posted is true then man that is just some disturbing stuff. Wouldn't be the first time though, but an emphasis has to be put on it being the last. There's a guy coaching in Seattle right now that could back that up as well as many players who have serious mental issues post-career.

Exactly PCL. someone on the sidelines saw that hit and saw his behavior and decided to let him keep playing. I hope the NFL looks at the tape, and if there was a wrong doing in this matter, I hope they take action because head trauma is not something to be taken so lightly.

Is he out for sure?God bless!

Holy f**k you guys are horrible. One game. ONE GAME! This guy has a winning record as a starter and as badly as he played today, he still deserves a 2nd chance. Now people are happy he got hurt so Clausen can start? WTF man? Way to be premature bandwagon jumpers.

The Huddle? Premature bandwagon jumpers? No way.

Regardless, I really hope he's ok. I wasn't aware he was vomiting/about to vomit on the sideline, I didn't realize it was that serious.

It's a Five-Step process a player must go through before he can play following a concussion. They can no longer return to the same game. Here is the policy that just went into effect, this is from ESPN:

"Once removed for the duration of a practice or game, the player should not be considered for return-to-football activities until he is fully asymptomatic, both at rest and after exertion, has a normal neurological examination, normal neuropsychological testing and has been cleared to return by both his team physician(s) and the independent neurological consultant."
