Don't be shocked if Luke is out again this week

[Jeremy Igo]

I give it a 68.8 percent chance that he will not play this week. 

[LUUUUUKE]

I had a feeling that he wouldn't.

 

My question is this. Was his particular concussion that severe, or are they gonna give him more time to recover in hopes that he doesn't have another one immediately after his return.

I realize that there's not much one can do to prevent them especially with his aggressive style of play.

we likely won't know the answer until Ron talks to the media.

is it possible that Luke has more than a concussion possibly a neck injury as well? 

[Lemory]

As long as we have AJ we should be ok without him against the Saints.

He looked really wobbly after that hit.  It's hard to grade concussions and in the past loss of consciousness was a major factor in assessing the severity.  Recent information contradicts this approach and post concussive difficulties often occur with what were considered milder concussions.  You can't be too safe in this situation.  I would hesitate to put that brain at risk for another hit after only two weeks.

LOL

I am worried about our ability to play in space versus the Saints Offense, but ultimately, I think we'll win this week.  No reason to hurry Luke along.  We locked him up for a long time, and I want him to be able to play at a very high level after this season.  Let him get right, then let him come out and destroy teams down the stretch.

[L-TownCat]

We all want him back but we also want him healthy.

Get him healthy and then we will all be happy.

[Hotsauce]

I wonder if we are handling this situation much more conservatively because of the history we had with Dan Morgan???

The guys that come back in week or two are the ones you can't even tell have gotten a concussion. If it wasn't reported we would have no clue that Josh Norman, Peanut, RG3, Josh McCown or Deandre Hopkins had gotten a concussion. Luke was visibly dazed and couldn't even stand up. I'd hazard a guess that Luke had a grade 2(moderate) concussion whereas those other guys had a grade 1(mild) concussion. Grade 3(severe) is typically when you lose consciousness.

It's a long season, they need to let him take all of the time he needs. Right now, we're holding up well. He'll be back when we need him the most.

[Murrican]

Wish he could be out there, but not too worried with Klein in there. 

[Nate Dogg]

If it were up to me I'd rest Luke and Star both until after the Tampa trip and get them back in pads over the bye week. Then we roll up to Seattle with a healthy Luke, Cam, Star, and Daryl Williams and blow their fuging minds.

The hit to me looked more like a spine injury than a concussion from the very beginning
