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.. Jersey retirement ceremony? Heck, they are writing his eulogy on this thread. Folks need to relax and wait till we actually get some news before we react.

The effects of multiple concussions can absolutely be life threatening, and at the very least quality of life threatening. He's already suffered 5 since 2011. He's having symptoms at this point, so, it's not been officially diagnosed. We'll see, I just wish the best for the guy and of course I'd rather having him able to play but his long term health is just more important.

lovemaskins Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I remember the play it happened. It was the same play when Morgan Moses went down. He took a nasty shot to the head and I remember saying whoa, that was a rough head shot. Then I saw Moses down and thought it was Reed because their numbers look similar (Reed 86 Moses 76, I could see a 6). I was actually surprised it wasn't Reed down. Now a couple days later concussion protocol. I too think he may want to consider hanging up the cleats. Life is more than football, as much I love it. I played ball too, and sometimes I think some things I feel now could've come from playing the game (and just aging) on a much lower level. I want to be able to see my grandkids one day and I hope these players make decisions based on longevity of life and not just money and fame and fans. Hopefully, its not serious but 7 concussions is not good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Some posters on here have proven they're oblivious to the concussion epidemic surrounding the NFL these days. If this protocol turns out to be true, then Jordan 26, has had FIVE in five years. That's five too many and very dangerous. he needs to make the best decision for himself and his family. His health and family far outweigh our feelings about the redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Won't this be his 5th documented concussion? Not to be all doom and gloom, but at some point you've got to think about life after 40. Wes Welker had 6 concussions. I read an article months back about how he plays Sodoku and does crossword puzzles every night before bed to keep his brain sharp. Dude is 35.

justice98 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Everytime he fights for more yardage, I tense up. It's times like this that I dont mind his suckitude as a blocker if it keeps him from concussing himself. He should just block like a QB, just try to be in the way.

JSSkinz Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would have no problem with Jordan walking away from the game based on his medical history, I would have a problem with the team giving him that contract because I think it will be almost $11 mil in dead cap money.

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. Jeez lol Some of you guys are so dramatic I or NFCBeasts were not definitively calling for his retirement. Just concerned about long term effects and if it comes to that, I'll understand. Your response up top makes much more sense. That said repetitive concussions can't be good in any shape or form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBass1724 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Calm down, everyone. It hasn't even been confirmed he has a concussion. I get concussions are dangerous, but there are plenty of players who have had wayyyyy more concussions than him throughout their careers and they are living just fine lives....all before people started caring about concussions. There are also people who have killed themselves because of brain trauma. Everyone is just different. Anybody could be at practice and complain about a headache and they automatically put you in the protocol. It doesn't mean they have a concussion. It just means they are checking to see what's up. So let's stop writing JReed's retirement speech, hall of fame speech, and eulogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the heart Reed has after catches. he's a load to bring down and he fights for every yard. But man, usually when he's being held up by two defenders, a third comes and cleans his clock.

superozman Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Whatever number is out there, is just the documented concussions. Every player gets concussions they try to play through. We are reacting to a number thats in print. H'es probably had way more, just like everyone else. Just one example below: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/07/01/clinton-portis-played-through-concussions-all-the-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 If this is 5 or 6, its not good. It is also not good that it took the NFL and team to figure it out 4 days after the game. I would imagine that the protocol gets more difficult each time a player enters it....he didn't practice yesterday and would be a quick pass through the protocol to have him ready to play Sunday....seems unlikley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Still listed as questionable. However, as a Redskins fan, I think it is best to assume he is out until I hear otherwise. If I were a Fecal fan, I'd assume he was in until he was ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would leave his out of this game as a precaution. I know how important he is to Cousins and this offense. But health tramps it. Plus you can't tell me that Niles and Vernon can't be serviceable for one game at least. The name of the game for me is for Cousins to get the ball to the WRs, especially Djax.
