Meh, if he can't be bothered to worry about his own well being then why should the rest of us? Xavier Breath Oct 25 #3

His judgment is impaired because of his closed head injuries. littlemissmartypants Oct 25 #2

He's been in that protocol for weeks, must have been a severe concussion. Time to hang it up. Silent Type Oct 25 #4

What's healthy, after 4 weeks pupils are close to equal, remembers his name but struggles with mascot? Sounds severe. Silent Type Oct 25 #6

If his family has been trying to talk him out of continuing then I feel sorry for them, I guess.

You only get one brain, it controls everything that you depend on for life and you can't get a transplant.

He's either getting really bad medical care and advice or he's completely disregarding the danger.

I think it's dumb.

He had to sit out four weeks per the rules. It wasn't the severity of the injury that kept him out all this time. Once a player is deemed healthy enough to practice, they have to be re-activated and return to the roster.

I don't have a dog in this hunt whether he does or doesn't. The article I read said he was symptom free a day after the injury. Sitting him down for the four week minimum may have been Miami's way to protect their investment for the future. Maybe his injury wasn't all that serious.
