Unbias Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 8 minutes ago, justice98 said: So does being in the concussion protocol mean you have a confirmed concussion or they just suspect you may have a concussion and thus have to go through the testing to prove you dont? It means he's believed to have sustained a concussion and they won't let him play until he can show he can perform athletic tests without having concussion like symptoms. The issue with concussions is each time the brain gets more susceptible to reinjury. Take Sidney Crosby as an example The Penguins are handling that situation extremely delicately and would much rather have him miss 25-50% of the season then to risk his career.

NattyBo Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It would suck for us as fans, but as a father and human being, I wouldn't blame him a bit for retiring. 6 concussions is 5 too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he makes the right decision, His health is more important. I wont think any less of him as a person/player. This is a brutal game. This is not necessarily true, as someone else posted this is very dependent on many factors, including severity of concussions and extended symptoms. 58 minutes ago, Unbias said: We all know Reed is a warrior and he knows a thing or two about concussions. What's probably the most troubling about this is that Reed got a concussion in the game (assumed) and originally thought he'd be okay. Actually played the rest of the game and went into the game prep for the follow week. Yesterday he decided to tell the team it's not going away. This scares me for two reasons: 1 - The player's competitive drive is putting him in danger of further damage 2 - The concussion is bad enough where he knows he needs to tell the team He may have taken the hit and thought nothing of it, just like every other hit he takes week in and week out, then started to experience concussion symptoms later in the week. People do not always know that they sustained a concussion, but a few days later they get dizzy or have bright lights hurt their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this turns out to be his 6th one he should really think about hanging up his helmet and be with his family and daughter. Wishing him good health in the meantime.

I agree totally here. The Redskins still have Davis and without Reed, Niles Paul will have another chance to prove himself and I really like his ability. Thankfully the Redskins are still deep at the TE position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was eyeballng yet avoided him too. This, after riding he and Cousins to my FF super blow with their monster close out to last year. I held onto him all year despite missing time, and it paid off. I have Cousins this year, in large part because of Reed. Sigh....no I don't want Blake ****ing Bortles. I wonder who will get his touches. Vernon Davis seems logical, but maybe it will be the wideouts. Thompson and even Jones have decent hands and could be in line to fill the void, much like they had to do at times last year.

bowhunter Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Has it even been confirmed that he had a concussion? My understanding is that he had concussion-like symptoms and was proactively placed into the concussion protocol. But please folks, carry-on with the jersey retirement ceremony..

skinsmania123 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 He needs a hyperbaric chamber. There is a guy in Florida, a colleague of mine, who is one of the leading experts in traumatic brain injury. due to underwater munitions blasts (Navy Seals), concussions, etc. He has worked with countless athletes. He is well documented, solves the problem and the Doctors that know of his work refer him a lot. It is a shame the NFL does not know more about this. It would stop guys from having long term effects due to concussions that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Got to be friends with his girl and watched them have their little girl albeit on SM .....Got to be fb friends with their family...I gotta say, I won't blame him at all for retiring, his health and being a father and husband outweighs long term health concerns. sucks, but life is short.

Glad I'm not the only one. concussions are nuanced deals. Saying a player should retire after x amount of concussions is pointless. Every case is different. Sid Crosby nearly retired from one. Other athletes played for years with multiple and were fine. Nobody on the team is even ruling him out for Sunday or even confirming he actually has one so save the crying for when it's really needed.

moondog Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well, that sucks. Reed is a special and rare player but I do like what I've seen from Davis this year and don't forget Cousins had Paul leading tight ends and receivers in receptions and yards through about 4 weeks 2 years ago before he got hurt. There's certainly an impact but we're more than capable of surviving and injury to Reed. Some may disagree but I think Cousins goes to his security blanket too often. He expects him to always be open and I feel sometimes it keeps him from seeing other guys. I almost can't blame him as good as Reed has been but I could almost see this making us better in that it's going to force Cousins to look other guys way. Here's to hoping DeSean goes off against the Eagles regardless of whether or not Reed plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also think Crowder doesn't get the ball enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
