Don't know what the outcome of this will be. He has said that he would retire before getting a permanent brain scramble. Not saying he will or should consider it, but if he gets his bell rung again..:who knows.  He just broke down and went to pieces unlike anything I have seen before. Sit him the rest of 2016 if need be. Don't take the risk of forcing a third incident that may force his hand.

This team is just about done anyway. Don't end a HOF type career to try and salvage a lost season.

He most likely broke into tears from that huge hit, his body was in shock. Best case he has the Alex Smith case where he really doesn't have a concussion but is in protocol from the way the hit looked, but worst case he's out for Seattle and Raiders, and maybe more.

If he got a concussion idk how looked like he got the wind knocked out of him badly. No replay showed any hit to the helmet. Confusing

back of his helmet as he fell down.  It's scary that a hit like that could cause a concussion...meaning this could be something that could become more regular for him.  We might be smart to lock down Klein in the offseason.  Regardless, I pray he's alright, if he stays healthy, he will make it to canton.

Honestly he is a ferocious player. This is the price you can pay as a warrior. Luke is about as perfect a player you can ask for. But this is also reality. Football is a violent ass game. 

I pray he's alright and hope he never suffers this kind of thing again. But you really can't blame him if it's a concussion and he considers leaving the game (He won't). But he's already a millionaire and among the all time greats even now. He doesn't have to prove poo.

A former player of ours comes to mind

Need not say his nam

Sadly, the first thought that came to mind. If you watched the '03 Bowl, you might have heard his name a time or two. Concussions can really mess with your emotions and have unpredictable actions. I think emphasizing his crying was unfortunate, because it was either a man terrified he had suffered one or some type of response to the trauma.

Say what you want about the NFL, the protocol has probably helped a lot of guys brains. 

Its not the concussions that turn your brain to mush. It's the repeated hits to the head after a concussion has happened. Luke will probably be out for at least 3-4 weeks, but should be ok long term. 

That being said, I'd sure like to see a better angle of how he looked on the play right before. If he got concussed on that play and then got hit again immediately following, that could be very bad. It looked like he just got his toe stepped on so I am holding out hope.

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
